Thanksgiving 2018

Was I ready to host Thanksgiving dinner for 16 after taking care of Jaime and Glenn for over a week?  Of course - believe it or not it ALL came together and went off without a hitch!!  It's nice to have a lot of help when it's needed!!

Jill's pulled in late Wed. night and Jessi's arrived mid-morning on Thursday!  The Smiths headed over also and we were glad to have Robby's mom Bev join us too!

It's pretty rare when we get a picture of the 3 son-in-laws!


Glenn and Rayna looking GOOD!!


Robby was my official "take the turkey out of the oven so I can check it" person since Glenn wasn't available this year!!  (we did a 20 pounder)


The girls making pickle cream cheese ham and turkey roll-ups - we all LOVE them!!


The 3 girls all ready to eat!


But first we had to hire a new turkey slicer so Gary volunteered this year!  I don't think Glenn missed doing it at all!!


The 3 boys - now getting a good picture of those 3 is a miracle!!


This year we decided to use the "kids" plates because they have sections and the kids hardly eat anything and the adults eat a lot!!  Good choice!!


Our little pilgrim Gwynnie!! (please ignore the wine opener beside her)


And last but not least, the crew that put this great meal together!!  And yes, my apron is STILL on!!


We had a fantastic meal - cleanup was fast - and the rest of the afternoon was ours!!!  To be cont'd.....
