This year for Thanksgiving, things didn't turn out the way we had planned. Wednesday night we were going to drive down south to be with our family, but traffic was so bad that after several hours (and very few miles) we had to just give up and turn back. So late Wednesday night, Jake went to the store to get all the supplies I would need to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Shockingly, everything I needed was in stock, and we were even able to get a fresh turkey. I guess living in a small town DOES have its benefits.
Jakey boy sure enjoyed his first Thanksgiving!
Jordan didn't make it for dinner. He fell asleep at 6 on his little couch and was done for the night. This is how he fell asleep. It was either too bright or too loud in the living room.
Hi handsome
These pictures uploaded out of order, so dessert is first. This is a red velvet cheesecake. So good!
Mashed taters
Cream corn...so delicious!
My first thanksgiving turkey. Pretty good, if I do say so myself. :)
Spinach salad
Candied sweet potatoes (I got this recipe from Ruth's Chris steak house after Jake, my mom, and I ate there for their birthdays December 2007, and it is by FAR the best sweet potato recipe there is!)
Samoan Chop Suey
Bubbly
Stuffing
So that was our Thanksgiving. It was lovely, and we had leftovers for E-V-E-R!!!!! I made an awful lot of food for only 2 people...
