Emily graciously allowed us to use her house and she let me totally mess up her kitchen. Jim, Emily, the girls and I cooked and cooked on Wednesday and got a lot done.
Thursday morning I got the rolls all rolled out and ready to rise. There were a lot of them! I lost count!
We had plenty of appetizers to keep them busy when they got back from their basketball game while we finished up dinner.
And some pretty flowers for the table.
All the delicious food is wonderful but of course the best part of the holiday is getting to hang out with people we love and that love us!
The annual weigh in - who will put on the most weight??
The head turkey carver.
Patiently waiting for dinner to be ready...
