We had a great time
yesterday with my dad’s side of the family. The highlight of the day was
getting to talk to my nephew Brandon via Skype. He had been “adopted” by a
family in Texas (where he’s in Army training) & was getting ready to head
to their house for their Thanksgiving meal.

| The sisters trying to organize the table |
 |
| I think they did a good job :) |
 |
| My cousin Holly always makes this salad every year - yum! |
 |
| My sister-in-law made these pilgrim hats & acorns - a pinterest idea. |
 |
| Bren also made these turkeys & tepees. Holly made some too - so cute & tasty! |
 |
| My aunt Marilyn always makes persimmon pudding - one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving. |

 |
| We were all so tickled to talk to him! |

| The whole crew |
 |
| My aunt Viv asked if I wanted the hat that Mamaw was wearing in this picture. Of course I said yes! |
Last night I went to bed swearing to never eat too much
again. And I did pretty well until I woke up today. Ah well, tis the season…
Glad to see you had such a good time. And WOW....what a feast! :)

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Bug.
ReplyDeletewhat a great family!...the goodies look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your family has a room they rent? Bob's side of the family really needs that. Love all the food!!! I will never make all the stuff I pin on Pinterest. Good for them for following through. That hat looks like a treasure!
ReplyDeleteOh my...that is the best use of peanut butter cups! Now I have to go look on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteIs that a Bojangles box on the dinner table? I haven't seen one since we left South Carolina. :-)
Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!
salivating at those food pics,`looks great
ReplyDeleteYou're really working that hat! You look like you should be seated in first class on the Orient Express as it heads to Istanbul.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great spread! And I love the hat!
ReplyDeleteWhy does persimmon pudding look like brownies?
ReplyDeleteI saw Santa!
We have to use a church hall now because there are too many of us for a house! And yes, that is a Bojangles box :)
ReplyDeleteNance - I think it's because of the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & ginger - because the fruit itself is kind of orange. Oh it is such yummy goodness!
