That was a lot of cooking and a lot of leftovers!! (And a lot of clean up--thank heavens for helpful Kirsten.)
Rusty and Kirsten brought their dog to meet our new Sam. They didn't get along very well, but all the people did and everyone enjoyed playing with the dogs.
We also played some X-Box and games. Some of us scoured the ads and made plans for Friday's shopping frenzy!
I went to bed pretty soon after everyone left.
Then Friday--I got up at 4:00 and got ready for the day. Kirsten was here about 5:15 and we headed out hunting for bargains. Her list was a little more specific than mine, but we both ended up with some pretty good deals. Can't post picture or give more details or I might spoil someone's surprise. We were all shopped out by around 10:30 and got back to my house by 11:00.
So yesterday afternoon included some minor household chores and naps and a start on my term paper.
Today, I absolutely MUST write that paper!! So no photo challenge for me this time around.

Karen,
What a spread! I would love a slice of that german choc cake...my favorite!
((hugs)) to you!
Love the new blog photo!!
What a blessing to have your whole family together for Thanksgiving. I talked to my father-in-law yesterday, and I have previously shared how he has always wanted his entire family with him on Thanksgiving. Well, this year, not one of his three children, nor any of his grandchildren was with them. What a disappointment for him. How blessed you are to have had the whole gang!!
So you are one of those day-after shoppers, huh? Not me. I did it once back in the 90's, and I quickly determined that it wasn't for me. So I just slept in yesterday. Hope you found lots of bargains.
Have a great day,
Patti
Yum!!!
I cannot believe that menu...I am literally salivating!
I am so intrigued with this sweet potato dish with Marshmallows!!!
My sister spent a Thanksgiving in the US last year and said it was the best meal she'd ever eaten.
Sounds like you need a nice rest! I couldn't see anything that I don't like on your table. Hope you get an A on that paper!
Everything sounded so yummy. Thank goodness for leftovers. We just finished up the last of the turkey! My 6 year old wanted Key Lime pie for one of the pie choices this year but I opted out of making it because of the other 4 I had to make. Maybe next year!
Hugs.

Looks like a wonderful feast! Glad to hear that you have a joyful Thanksgiving.
Now that you've had some fun and R&R, back to working on that paper, LOL! You CAN do it!
Oh I can just taste your rolls - they bring back lots of memories. I got up early and went shopping too. I like your kitty in the tree picture. Mine would never cooperate for a picture like that! Good luck with your paper.

How lucky Kirsten is to have you for a mother-in-law! You seem to really adore her. :) I'm glad you have such a wonderful addition to your family!
