Despite all the work, Thanksgiving was very nice. The kids were excited to help with the cooking. Tristan and Grandpa made a special pumpkin pie, Jolie and I made a mud pie (yumm!) and both of them peeled potatoes. Gavin tried to do some damage on a couple of potatoes with a variety of kitchen tools, as well.
We used our high tech Viking meat probe to determine the cooking time for our turkey but it failed us. Fortunately, Jerry arrived early and suggested we give the turkey a little more time in the oven.
We were excited to have our friend Maria with us. She brought her grandmother's famous stuffing and a delicious pecan pie. We sat in the family room after dinner, moaning about our waistline discomfort and looking though the shopping ads. Maria and mom also talked Dad into giving them a foot rub.
