Thanksgiving

Well, the turkey is pretty much gone, as is the ham and cranberry relish. We all had a splendidly relaxing Thanksgiving. With no tv in our living room, this led to lots of conversation for the grownups and play for the kids. It was so cold that only a few dared go out, but the majority stayed in to put together puzzles, train sets or watch a movie in the kids playroom. With eight adults and 11 kids it was a houseful, but we had a wonderful time. Let's see, I made the turkey, ham, cranberry relish and gravy (well, my sister helped as well). Then my sister also made fresh applesauce, pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. Paul's sister brought broccoli salad and a sweet raisin bread. His dad & stepmom brought stuffing and jello salad. Paul's brother's family brought a cheesecake and freshly steamed asparagus with a white/cheese dipping sauce...as well as the now infamous cream puffs with nutella, Kimberly fell asleep at dinner in her high chair...at one point her head came down onto her plate, so we picked her up and laid her in bed. She had a nice nap through the noisiest part of the evening.
Well, Kimberly as usual is demanding my attention, so I'd better run!
Many blessings!
Kris
