This year, we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house! Bryan invited his daughter, who brought along her husband & her daughter, as well as her husband’s mother Patty. We had a great time – they arrived Wednesday afternoon and left Thursday evening after our meal.
Bryan went a bit overboard with the food, of course. He cooked a nice big turkey, a big ham, with a batch of chicken wings & some meatballs for snacks. Patty made the stuffing and sweet potato dishes, while Lindsey helped with all the other dishes that needed to be put together. Ryan kept little Betty occupied, while I ran around and looked busy doing not much of anything except take pictures.
We had the Red Room and the Blue Room both set up for guests. This required a bit of shuffling around with the remainders of Mother’s stuff – but we got things organized well enough that both guest rooms looked inviting. I worried about the heat in the Blue Room since mother always complained that she was cold. Turns out, it was quite warm – Patty said she didn’t need the extra blankets I put in there.
I really enjoyed having them all over and look forward to doing it again – and not just for Thanksgiving.
