For the first time ever, we didn't have Thanksgiving lunch with either of our extended families. Lane had to work five nights in a row starting Thanksgiving night, so he couldn't leave town. But we had a great day, just the five of us. I made a big meal so that we could celebrate together and so L would have lots of left-overs for the weekend (the kids and I left about 2:30 to drive out of town to my Aunt Judy's house, and from there we went to Mom and Dad's for three nights).
our menu
making a pie crust for my first-ever pumpkin pie
(I guess it turned out okay...I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie, so I really couldn't judge. It tasted fine to me with a huge scoop of home-made whipped cream on it!)
I made cornbread dressing using the recipe that my Grandmother wrote down for me a few years ago. I made it then for a Bible Study dinner, and I got it a little too dry/crumbly. I thought it was a lot better this year!

Rhett ate a lot of the foods that he usually doesn't eat--I was proud of him!
Out of all this food, I think Alexee ate two store-bought rolls and a bite of turkey.
I don't think Crosby ate even one bite. He didn't feel good. Lane had determined the night before that he had a double ear infection, and we started an antibiotic. He ran a low fever and didn't have an appetite. He stood in the living room and watched the parade on TV while we ate.
We enjoyed our time together...We have MUCH to be thankful for!

It was so sweet for you to cook that big meal! But I bet you had lots of yummy leftovers. My mom also makes something called cranberry fluff and it is so good! Hope you had a fun weekend at your parent's and that Crosby is feeling better by now.
