Yesterday was Thanksgiving. It was tough because I had to cancel a trip to Cali to see my folks. I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get to go, but these things happen. So it was going to be just the family here for the day. Then my bro-n-law’s plans changed as well. So we invited him and his kids. Then Anna’s parents plans changed. So we invited them. Then we got a call from her youngest sister that lives in Denver and they said they were coming down. WOW! Full house.

What started as just my family, turned into 12 people. Luckily we had bought enough food and then told others to bring side dishes as well.

The weather was perfect, per se. I love winter and snow and would’ve loved it, if it were cold. As it turned out, it hit about 65 degrees. What was great about this was sending the kids outside to play. Especially since our house is not huge by any stretch of the imagination.

The menu consisted of prime rib roast, potato’s, green beans, that weird orange jello stuff, mushrooms and rolls of course. Oh and plenty of beverages for all ages. Then desert was pecan and pumpkin pies, and Chocolate pudding desert. MMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

It all came out great! And barely any leftovers. Except for the meat that I hid so I can make sandwhiches today.

Well, the second load of dishes are done and I need to start another. Oh and get outside to put up the lights. It is the day after Thanksgiving, afterall. And lights must be put up.
