Cindy made lunch for us... some tasty tortilla roll ups (of which I ate WAY too many considering the meal that was up ahead) and a variety of cheeses. Yummm!

Corey has been looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with his family SO much, and even though the poor guy only got a couple hours of sleep before we went over he had tons of fun hanging out with Travis and Tyler.

The Chefs.

And might I say that we did a good job?!? Yes. We did. It was fun to cook with Cindy all day and very rewarding as always.

Here's the whole gang enjoying the meal on the china (do you not love that pattern?!?) and silver which Cindy keeps special for Thanksgiving Dinner only. The boys were the only ones who ate Dessert that night I think. They had massive chocolate cupcakes covered in frosting and topped with mini M and M's. We also had (for our little gathering of 8) Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, my families Pumpkin Cake Squares, Cindy's famous Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, AND 2 different types of Ice Cream. We know how to do Thanksgiving right.

All in all it was a wonderful day. The only funny thing I can remember to report was when Jack put on his new Woody's hat and tipped it to say a gentlemanly "Good Day." It made us laugh and so Alaster started saying it too... and he had us going for a long time... he's just so rowdy that to hear him say it was hilarious. About a week later we were visiting again and he extended it to an even more hilarious joke (he was so proud of himself for thinking up this hysterical joke that he couldn't stop laughing at how funny he was) First he said "Good Day." Then you say "Good Day." back. Now the punch line... in a very, very loud and gruffly voice: "BAD DAY!" Ha ha ha ha ha!

We hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving too!
