What a delicious meal it was! Cory carved two turkeys!! Jen had the most delicious rolls on hand, Stacey brought a wonderful Southern Style cream cheese/spicy hot jelly dip that was to die for ~ and Amy brought her traditional squash casserole and raspberry jello we all love! Brooke helped me cut up onions and celery for the dressing and Jen, Brooke and I peeled ten pounds of potatoes! Mom brought a yummy green bean casserole and We had delicious gravy and doubled the recipe for pumpkin pies~~yes it was huge, I made eight!!
The Horton kids helped grandma make pilgrim hats for each place ( all edible!) and Jenny had three tables set up so beautifully!
I really like Thanksgiving and I even like the cooking part! If I had to feed that many people every day, for sure I can see some wisdom in polygamy ....many hands make work light! ( smile )
Afterwards Grandma and Great-grandma with Brooke and Britney's help watched the little tykes while the two oldest grandsons and their folks along with Uncle Kelly & Aunt Stacey got to go and see a great movie THE BLIND SIDE! the true story of Michael Oher, who plays on the NFL Raven's. Mom and I had each seen it and highly recommended it!
While they were gone, Brooke and Britney got Emma, Kate, Kelsey & Pearl dancing and jiving. What a sight, had me in stitches. Devin helped me peel Clementine's and Derek collapsed on the couch for his thanksgiving nap. Maegan didn't want any part of it, she had her private screening of movies upstairs!
We missed Jill, she was in the hospital fresh from surgery the day before. Jay dropped by for a bite but went back to be with her later that evening.
I talked to Troy that night and he said they invited a non-member family over for Thanksgiving, had a wonderful time, gave them a Book of Mormon and answered some interesting questions they had about the church. All in all, it was a wonderful day! How I love this family of mine~ They are the best!
