Thanksgiving

Matt and I spent Thanksgiving in Colorado this year. We slept in...it was so nice! :) And then in the afternoon we went over to Uncle Jerry & Aunt Kathy's for a full Thanksgiving meal! They know how to go all out!

Here is the dining room all set up for the first course:
soup (crab leg and shrimp bisque) and salad with homemade crescent rolls.

Complete with a turkey in the middle! :)

Ready to chow down on the full spread! Complete with cranberry sauce, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts...and of course, the turkey. We came home with leftovers :)

Delicious all the way down to the pecan and chocolate-ricotta pie. We hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving with the ones you love! We are looking forward to some more time with family during the Christmas season.

Thank you Sonya for this post. How nice to see some more pictures of Jerry and kathy and their home. I am glad that you four were able to be together. Yes, they do put on a nice meal. So much to be thankful for, right?

Mmmm, looks delightful! That soup sounds especially wonderful!!

Matt and Sonya said...

Yes, Grandma. We do have so much to be thankful for!

Nicole, we might make the roasted sweet potatoes when you come out for Christmas. I didn't think I liked sweet potatoes at all until these!

I had to look at these pictures again. I don't think I have ever seen Jerry in glasses. He looks so good. Kathy is looking younger all the time, but I am seeing some grey in Jerry's hair. Did Kathy make the centerpiece on the table?

Grandma, Aunt Kathy just put their stuffed turkey (he has a name but I can't remember it) on a plate and put the glass over top of it. I thought he was cute!
