Thanksgiving 2010

In a Thanksgiving Nutshell:
1) Kobe made his first banana cream pie all by himself!!  He did a great job!
2) Kobe, Brooke and Grandma fixed some beautiful pumpkin pies the day before thanksgiving - it was a good thing we needed a sliver because although they looked beautiful, they were lacking sugar!!!!  So we got to make them all over again.  
3) Brooke helped me peel 10 pounds of potatoes - that's KP duty - she needs a medal!
4)  Jill made Amy's famous squash - which tickled Violet because she was a few pounds heavier after her Thanksgiving dinner~~~  I'm sure Stacey has pictures to come.........she LOVED the squash!!
5)  Stacey brought a southern favorite, jalapeno jelly/cream cheese - we had to watch Mason with each cracker to keep him from the "double dip"!  DELICIOUS!
5) Cory picked up extra tables & chairs
6)  Jen fixed the raspberry/pretzel jello - Brooke had 4 or 5 helpings!! ( smile ) she can do that, she's a dancer!!
7)  Jenny & Brooke lovingly prepared 72 deviled eggs~~~there wasn't a single leftover......~
8) Jen had her house decorated for the holidays - so much fun to eat by a beautiful Christmas tree!
9) Grandma P. brought her sherry cake, a favorite among us wine-bibbers....and the always popular green bean casserole.  Aunt Shelly brought coconut custard pie -
With the Cowboys playing and the aroma of wonderful food~none of us left hungry!! ( smile )  In fact after a movie date of all the mom's and dad's it was time for turkey sandwiches~ YUM~
Until next year the memory of hot mashed potatoes, aptly named stuffing, turkey, cranberry, rolls, pumpkin pie and whip cream~~ will remain just that..............a memory! 

I did learn a secret about Derek.....he eats pumpkin pie just the way his Grandma J. does ~ (forks are for novices, right?)

NOW anyone for a salad with light dressing?
