Happy Thanksgiving 2009! We had a fantastic day - and an especially fantastic meal - at my house this year. Mommy cooked all morning and into the afternoon...we enjoyed the fruits of her labors around 2PM. Here I am smiling with the chef, who is sitting down for the first time all day. It was nice to have our family together and to enjoy such a nice meal.
Cheers, daddy! I have been practicing my "cheers" skills and am always at the ready with my cup, which, in this case, was my special occasion cup that I use on holidays (with matching dish).
I think I was most enthusiastic about eating the rolls (go figure...and mommy didn't even make those...the only thing on the table that mommy didn't make).
A sampling of all the goodies: homemade turkey, gravy ("maybe the best ever," said mommy), cornbread-sausage stuffing, garlicky brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, cranberry-orange sauce and the aforementioned rolls. For dessert, our friends JT, Rocky, Irene and Greg came over and we ate AGAIN, though this time we enjoyed lots of PIE! Mommy made a homemade sweet potato pie (daddy was happy) and we also had apple and pecan pie, along with whipped cream (I got to help make it with the mixer) and ice cream. By the end of the day, we were all quite full and ready for bed...but who wouldn't be? And today, we can do it all over again if we want: there are enough leftovers for an army. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Love, Charlotte
