Thanks for Thanks

Well, we made it through Thanksgiving and I am oh so thankful for that (among other, more important things of course - like health, happiness and family).  All those spreadsheets and hours of planning paid off because the day went off without a hitch!  Everyone loved it, we had a great time and great food. Here are some pics of our day of food...

9am - Shove that bad boy in the oven

The finalized tablescape.  I think the pears with brown bows really do it.  Eat your heart out Martha Stewart!

There she blows! The most luscious, perfectly browned turkey we could have ever been thankful for...

In addition to the luscious turkey, we had stuffing, homemade applesauce, corn, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and homemade gravy.  We were too hungry to stop and take pictures, sorry!  You'll just have to conjure up these cozy Thanksgiving images on your own ;)

Everyone's favorite part of the meal, dessert!

I was so excited to eat dessert, I forgot to take a pic of the pumpkin cheesecake before we served it!

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Lots of wine and great people and food, for me that's a success!
