Celebrating Thanksgiving continued this past weekend. Saturday we entertained my parents, brother Bob, his wife Laura and their girls, Mya and Ally at our house. I tried a new recipe, champagne basted turkey. It was so pretty, smelled good and tasted even better. Of course the usual fixings to go along side. And then the pies...we had four different pies. Seriously people. But it was all so good. The kids loved playing with their cousins and we had fun playing Cadoo. We missed Annie, Matt and Owen though. Move closer!! :)
Sunday, after mass, we traveled to Wabasso for the Salfer Thanksgiving. This year we added 4 additional guests-boyfriends and girlfriends!!! We had a total of 40 people!!! Gladys made two turkeys, two pots of potatoes, two roasters of stuffing, green beans and all we had to contribute was either a salad, dessert or veggies. She's an awesome cook!!! Brian's sister Charlene made an awesome pecan pie. Not too rich, just right! That's why I had two pieces! Oh and REAL whip cream! We don't usually have that at our house! ;) We had a nice time visiting with everyone and seeing how grown up the kids have gotten. I have a feeling there will be some weddings to be celebrated in the very near future! The girls had a blast playing with all their cousins. It's probably their favorite part of any holiday-hands down!
We are blessed.
