Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! My parents came with my sister Audra, my sister Catherine, her husband Donald, their three kids, my father-in-law, and my brother-in-law Dough and his wife Katie all spent the holiday with us. We had a fabulous time and were grateful that we were able to accommodate everyone!

Olivia's preschool had a Thanksgiving feast and I can't get over how cute their Indian costumes were.

We have been cooking two turkeys on Thanksgiving for the last four or five years. Duane likes to fry one, while I have to bake one in order to make homemade gravy. This year Duane tried the infrared cooker and it turned out great! Same great fried taste without the fat!:)



So, I really wanted to decorate the table really nicely, but didn't know where I'd put the food. I love that our dining room table seats up to 12 people. I may have to invest in a couple more chairs, to make it 10. Try and ignore the empty wall. I can't decide whether to hang a large picture or mirror in the space. Any suggestions?!
