Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that you all ate a lot of turkey, stuffing and all the trimming, plus got a chance to spend time with family and friends today!!  Jeremy and I had our Thanksgiving yesterday, since he worked today.  We hosted the holiday at our house and his parents came out from California and my parents and gran came up from Scottsdale.

As with everything holiday celebration, there was WAY to much food but it was all delicious!  Our menu consisted of the following:

Appetizers -

Sugar and Spice Nuts

Veggie Tray and Ranch Dip

Main Course -

Thanksgiving Turkey

Side Dishes -

Cheesy Potatoes

Cooked Asparagus and Broccoli

Dressing (aka stuffing)

Yams

Deviled Eggs

Strawberry Jello Pretzel Salad

Rolls

Desserts -

Dutch Apple Pie

Pumpkin Squares

Dad and I got the turkey when into the oven at about 10:15am and then we all visited, watched TV, ate a light lunch and hung out until the turkey was about done.  As the turkey finished up, my mom, mother in-law and I prepared our side dishes and got those into the oven.  Everything turned out wonderfully and we ate  dinner around 4pm.  Being so stuffed, we waiting until about 7:15pm to dig into the dessert.  Yummy!
