Sister Suzy and her husband Michael flew in from Seattle for the week. Sister Brooke, my parents and cousin Bob came over for dinner. (Mom and Dad left early the next day to see sister Katie who couldn't leave North Carolina. Her coaches scheduled practice Thanksgiving afternoon, and her team played Duke the next day).
Adam shoots the turkey with some sort of secret turkey sauce.
Cooking dinner is a lot of work! This is the first year that I've actually cooked the dinner, and I really didn't even do anything. Suzy did most of it -- I just made the salad and a pumpkin pie. The boys drank beer, fried the turkey and drank beer, and the women-folk got the sides ready. That's the hardest part! We had to time everything around the dang turkey.
Somehow, it all got ready at the same time and it was delicious! I liked having it at our house, but figured out that there are a lot of "extra" dishes that I don't have -- gravy boat, turkey platter, butter dish.
I think Luke was the only one who got a nap in. Suzy and Bob took him on a walk after dinner, and he didn't even make it around the block before he fell asleep. He does look a little crazy in his outfit, but whatever -- he was warm.
