A slightly belated Thanksgiving Post because well . . . we were a bit under the weather after the big event. The good news is that we are all feeling a ton better and having a jolly 'ol time.
Dad and I ran the Long Grove Tukey Trot. We had a lot of fun together.
I am thankful that Dad has passed on his love for running to me!
We did a lot of cooking. Tim & Pete roasted the turkey to perfection . . . I'm not even exagerating . . . Perfection.
I love freshly made cranberries. Why do people eat canned cranberries when they can so easily make fresh?
Addison thinks that Thanksgiving meal is a particularly good idea.
One of my favorite pictures of the day of Lynn and Emily Ann. Mom and I had been discussing how photogenic these ladies are - this is proof!!
The stuffing came out great. I used Grandma Nadeau's recipe. Mmmm! One of my favoriet foods.
Mom carved th e lamb shank.
Tim carved the turkey.
My plate: Starting at 9'o'clock and moving clockwise: Mashed Potatoes, Rootabaga, Cranberries, Stuffing, Lamb, Tukey, Crescent Rolls, Carrot Soufle, and 24 hour salad. There were a billion desserts but I forgot to take pictures of those - so here is a picture of a beautiful pumpkin pie!
Alaina is a budding photographer and artist! We spent much of the afternoon coloring while the football games donned the t.v.
Later that evening Alaina played dressup! Gotta love that belly.
Late in the afternoon I had the pleasure of baptizing/dedicating Addie Jane! It was very special. Later this week I will post the script for the service!! Mom knitted her beautiful baptismal gown. Look at how happy she was! She loved it!!
And because I'm still a bit tired from the . . . um . . . sickness. . . I'm not going to put this in order. Here are the Thanksgiving Chefs!
So many highlights from the day.
Here is Poppy (Emily Ann's Grandpa).
He told me some great stories about growing up in Indiana and then about his time in the war.
What a treat!
