My youngest son has been doing Thanksgiving at his house for the past several years. He is a fabulous cook. He does all the hot stuff and we all bring the extras. He came home from work Wednesday evening sick and informed my DDIL that she might have to do the cooking. She is a sweetheart, but she is just learning to cook. He said he would do what he could and coach her from the sidelines. She did a wonderful job.
Among other things I made the FuFu recipe. I had never eaten it so I didn't know what it was supposed to look or taste like. I did add some of the potato water as it seemed a bit dry without it. It was a big hit among those who were sweet potato eaters. As an after thought I made a batch of rice crispy treats. I thought the children would enjoy them. Every time I passed the tray they seemed to be disappearing. Later I found out it was the adults that were wolfing them down.
The company was wonderful as usual. I enjoy my DDIL's family. They are really good people. It was also wonderful having all my family together too. I took a lot of pictures. It was a wonderful opportunity to get multigenerational pictures. I also used someone's suggestion of having everyone write out what they are thankful for on a card stock leaf. Somehow I'll build a scrapbook page around them.
Yes, I think Thanksgiving turned out to be a good day. Now it's time to kick into Christmas mode. I heard my first Christmas song this morning on the radio.
