We were all very thankful to have the basement usable for the Thanksgiving feast with all of Mom's side of the family over. We did manage to get 27 people happily fed. The turkey wasn't the only thing that was stuffed that day. Everybody rolled around for most of the afternoon and few had room for the desserts, though everybody had some anyway.

Alex (and Becca) made a lot of the snacking food. Hooray for a chef in the family, I say. Alex made 2 humongous and delicious cheese balls and some of the cookie assortment and an unusual, but delicious, apple pie pumpkin. Karen and Tim brought the mashed potatoes and the entertainment, because really that's what 3 kids under 4 years old are. They were surprisingly well behaved for the extended hours and sheer number of people vying for their attention. John and I brought an assortment of cookies and some holly decor. Various extended family brought cheesy potatoes, pies, sweet potato casserole, handmade chocolate dipped deliciousness and the famous rolls.
The White Elephant gift exchange was a hit as usual. The "best" items this year were a horrific scented candle, a "Mother's Day 2008" plate that was too ugly for words, and 2 books of Knock Knock Jokes. The most traded items were a Michiganopoly game and a big bag of M&M's.
We were all thankful for family and togetherness and a surplus of food and fun.
