Kent and I love to cook and host Thanksgiving dinner. I think we have only missed cooking twice in the last 13 years. We were fortunate to have my mom, Jim, Aunt Nancy, and Uncle John here this year.
Kent and I upgraded our dining room table for the event (via craigslist, of course). Our new table is big enough to comfortably seat 8. I am looking forward to many holiday meals around it.
The girls, especially Maddie, were big helpers in the kitchen this year. Madeline wanted to help with everything from the cranberry salad to the casseroles to the table settings.
Madeline made everyone name cards, and Sophie wrote everyone a special note to put next to their plate. My favorite was the one she wrote for Maddie, "You are the best sister."
This year's turkey was 22 pounds. We love making lots and lots of food that we can eat for days. It is stuffed with homemade stuffing. Madeline and I spent Wednesday night cutting four loaves of bread.
Here is a final view of the table. I love putting out the wedding china. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Enjoy your many blessings.
