Post-Thanksgiving

I think I'm still recovering, but I had so much fun this year at Thanksgiving, I can hardly wait for Christmas.  The food, the mayhem, the mess, I love it all.  Absolutely my favorite holiday. We were really well-planned this year and avoided the last-second freak attack that usually happens trying to get everything ready at the same time.  It was quite wonderful and relaxing.That's my sister and I above, getting to eat FIRST!  Actually we were making plates for our kids.   

My dad and I carve the turkey together every year.  It's my favorite tradition, plus you get to sample the goodness right away.  This year we had a 22 pounder.

Ooh, pie.  I made pumpkin and my mom made cherry and pecan.
