Thanksgiving Part 1

Our Thanksgiving Celebration lasted for several days.  We were so very glad to have spent Wednesday afternoon with Lainey, Katy & Matt.  I helped Katy make Banana pudding to take with her to Chattanooga for Thanksgiving with Matt and his family.  She says it was a hit.  Lainey was starving for cheese dip from our local Mexican restaurant–El Real.  It was real good and I ate too much.  

On Thursday we were fortunate to host both Steve’s family (Poole & Springer) and my side of the family (Hunt/Lyle).  We had beautiful weather and enjoyed eating dinner on the deck.  Our sweet little Molly Caroline joined us for the first time.  Molly was born earlier in September to Scott & Megan.  Her grandparents–Ed & Martha are crazy, CRAZY about her!  

 Bob cooked the turkey this year.  He confessed this was his second time in his entire life to cook a turkey.  It was great.  Eve made the dressing and gravy.  Eddie cooked the ham–it too was good.  The delicious meal included but was not limited to Butter Peas by Faye, Cookies and Cakes by Suzy, Sweet Potato and Creamed Corn from Megan & Scott, Green Beans and Wild rice by Martha, Hash Brown Casserole by Janet, Apple Cranberry Bake by Janey and Salads and Hominy casserole by Maria.

It is safe to say no one walked away hungry. We did miss our sweet Caroline who was in Utah and couldn’t get enough days off to get home.  Sam & Laura were in Alabama with her family–but they have good news–they are expecting a little baby girl in the spring!

I wish I had more pictures, but I misplaced my camera several times and got distracted talking…
