This is the third year we have hosted a Thanksgiving day celebration - lots of work, but so enjoyable to treat our guests! The cooking began a few days in advance, with tweaks of tried and true recipes and additions of a few new ones as well. We had leftovers for eveyone! My grandparents, Grandma Peggy, Uncle Kodiak, Uncle David, plus cousins Kimmie and Hadley joined us for the afternoon.
My first entire turkey! There were some moments of craziness during the prep - when I was ready to through the 22 lb. bird out the window - but the final product was juicy and tasty!

Great-Grandma Dolores Hadley Robbins and her namesake, Hadley Katherine Butler
Grandpa, showing the boys how the X-Box REALLY works
I made a special Thanksgiving princess table for the girls - just their size. They seemed to really enjoy it! We had crafts when they arrived and yummy treats throughout the afternoon.
Emerson, literally "putting a cork in it"...Ryan had to fish it out of his mouth.
David, enjoying a post-turkey snooze
And the girls have dessert at the princess table!
