Thanksgiving 2011

This year my daughter and I decided to break the tradition of having Thanksgiving at my house and instead have it at hers.  It would be easier with the children at their home with their toys, and easier for me (not having to clean and childproof the house), and better for Ted who could go home and nap when dinner was over.  And of course, the biggest benefit would be that Brandie would learn how to cook a turkey!

So here are some photos of my daughter and I and the granddaughters working together to pull off a feast!

Audrey making the bean casserole....

Gracie's sugar cookies...

My cake...

Hank loving Grandpa Ted's pumpkin pie...

(notice Ted's beard and hair returning after chemo!)



A meal enjoyed by all...





And after dinner Brandie read to Goldie and Hank, while we washed dishes

and cleaned up the kitchen (or as we say in this neck of the woods, "We red up the kitchen")

I hope your Thanksgiving was a blessed one, too.
