Thanksgiving 2011

It was our first Thanksgiving in our newly remodeled house.  Grandpa and Mimi flew out to spend the weekend with us, and Cadynce and Donnie kept them busy (which is a nice break for me).  We fried the turkey again this year and had a whole lot of food to go with it.  I only had one major flop and that was the pecan pie...the first one.  I cooked it way too long and when it cooled it couldn't even be cut with a knife.  It took 24 hours of soaking and scraping to finally get it all out of the pan.  I made another one and it was at least edible.

Don and I were able to get a lot of shopping done on Friday night.  Colbie was pretty excited too and she stayed awake almost the entire time we shopped.  It was great having family here with us to share a Thanksgiving meal.  View Album for more
