Alex is scared of the mixer, so anytime I start it, he comes over and wants to hold hands. Here, I'm mashing the potatoes one-handed.
While scared of the process, Alex loves mashed potatoes and is happy to lick the beaters.
This is how Madison wanted to come to Thanksgiving dinner. Mind you, she had a nice outfit on earlier in the day and decided this was "prettier."
Ready for Thanksgiving, even though it's Friday! Edward worked in the ER on Thanksgiving, so we celebrated a day late. Madison is wearing her "Thankful" hat she made at school.
Alex LOVED the sweet potato casserole (my mother-in-law's recipe). Edward is kind of disappointed he now has to share his favorite dish :)
Madison's Favorite Thanksgiving Foods-CRANBERRIES!!! She also loved the Jello and mashed potatoes.
Luke's Favorite Thanksgiving Foods-Stuffing, Jello, and Deviled Eggs
Alex's Favorite Thanksgiving Foods-Sweet Potato Casserole, Stuffing, Jello (glad the Jello was so popular!)
I made all of the food, and it included: turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberries, stuffing, green bean casserole, corn, rolls, Jello, deviled eggs, marshmallow fruit salad, apple pie, and key lime pie.
We had a great Thanksgiving, topped with homemade apple pie and a key lime pie. While key lime may not sound like Thanksgiving, we lived in Florida for four years, where most Thanksgivings there, someone in our group of friends brought a key lime pie. It just now sounds like Thanksgiving!
Sounds awesome and I love Madison's outfit. It's so cute that Alex has to hold your hand; you will remember that from now on every time you use a mixer (it will make an embarrassing story later on :-). We missed you guys but it sounds like you had a great turkey day.
