Thanksgiving

It's been a week since Thanksgiving, and I'm finally getting a chance to update. We typically have pretty simple holidays, with just our family celebrating here at home. This year we did so some things that we haven't in the past, such as making a flower arrangement for the table, and the girls also made place mats. We spent the day baking and preparing for our evening meal. During the afternoon Gene took the girls to the park for driving lessons, which they all loved. When they returned we continued in our preparations for our evening, candlelit meal.

Gene was sick that whole week, so our plans for the weekend were canceled. Though we weren't able to do all that we wanted, we still had a good time spending the weekend together.

Our Thanksgiving Menu

Cajun Injected Turkey
Ginger Snap Sweet Potatoes
Broccoli, Cauliflower & Cheese
Dressing

I hope you like the slide shows that I made of our Thanksgiving.
