The Day After

Here are a few pictures from the day-after-Thanksgiving get-together of aunts, uncles, and cousins at Drew and Heidi's house (unfortunately Matt was working hard on Black Friday). It's OK, Meredith, you can look now.

Thanksgiving 2007

Thanks again to Drew and Heidi for having Thanksgiving at their house. And to all of the cooks. Here's one of the cooks taking a break. That's Drew chillin' with Sam.

Each of us drew our own hand turkey on the refrigerator, including Sam. The two Indians on the bottom? That the cats, Spot and Spike.

Mom and Dad carving the turkey. All of the food was excellent!

And to those who wondered, Matt's pecan pie came out awesome. He's going to tweak the recipe a little bit, but he was very pleased with the results.

And then there's the food coma at the end of the day. Looks like someone had too much turkey!

Catchin' the Thanksgiving spirit!

Leave it to Sam to be the best dressed for Thanksgiving. Here's a little preview of our holiday. Still full from all the food we ate (thanks to the cooks!). More to follow tomorrow.

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to our readers! Enjoy your turkey, your stuffing and trimmings, your parades. your football, your pies. Most importantly, enjoy your time with your family and friends.

Pies!

Here's a little preview for tomorrow. Matt and I spent the late afternoon and early evening making a couple pies and other assorted baked goodies. I made the brownies and the pumpkin pie. Matt made the M&Ms cookies and the pecan pie. Oh the pecan pie. We can't wait to try it. Matt has modified the recipe slightly by soaking the pecans in a little borboun and adding 2/3 cup of melted chocolate. We'll let you know the results.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was pretty quiet -- watched the parade, surveyed the ads for good deals, had a great dinner at Heidi's parents' house (thanks Bill and Kathy)! Here's a picture of us from Thursday.
