We had a really pleasant thanksgiving. There were four generations with family members who've had a somewhat rocky past, so it was really wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves and the good food. And the new little pool cues we bought the day before, as well as the rousing game of steal the baseball cap, kept the kids occupied.

Appetizers
Cream-cheese with cranberry-pepper jelly with crackers
Mini beef wellingtons.
The Main Spread
Roast turkey
Gravy
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potato casserole with streusal topping
Cranberry Relish
Cranberry Sauce with Apples
Ratatouille
Butter rolls and Orange rolls (with orange frosting)
And for Dessert
And for Dessert
Mystery pecan pie (cream cheese is the mystery, and it's amazing)
Pumpkin pie
Cream cheese brownies

I'm really thankful the kids are getting to know their cousins far and wide. No snow, but oodles of fun with grandma this week. And that I got to watch D savor 3 of those rolls. Other than that I think they only at "fuzzing" and of course a little dessert.
Here's how I occupied them while we were all getting ready. I had no idea K was so symmetrical. I had grabbed a couple stacks of photos so they could choose, and K chose one of his little brother. These are gifts for grandma's birthday on Sunday.
