Thanksgiving is kind of a big undertaking. I was thankful to have my mom at the helm this year and my brother at the camera, so really I just wandered around and did various jobs all morning. I will say that I spent far too long on the sweet potatoes this year because of poor planning and all my pots and pans were occupied by other dishes . . . I ended up making them over a 24 hour period and then we had PLENTY, a whole dish of leftovers. Which we put in the oven to warm up on Friday and then accidentally left in there when we went to the movies, so they were destroyed. Basically I'm not thrilled with sweet potatoes at the moment. BUT everything else has served us well in the leftover department. I've been full for three days.
Back to Thanksgiving. Here's a behind the scenes look at our house Thursday morning. The parade and dog show were playing the background, of course. Moose had a pretty full day. He normally sits on the couch all day like this:
But on Thanksgiving day he heard some attractive clanging sounds in the kitchen. . .
and couldn't bear to be left out of the action for a minute.
Over to the dining room - looks about ready to go.
Back to the kitchen
Pleasepleasepleaseplease see how good I am?
The table set with care.
And then we were so involved in eating and enjoying and trivial pursuit and digestion, we didn't take any more pictures.
