My inlaws drove down from PA to spend a week with us over Thanksgiving.  We had a lovely visit.  The kids and grandparents adore each other.  It is quite sad that they don't see each other more often, but I am thankful for internet technology.

Carving my brined bird

I did most of the cooking the day before, so Thanksgiving day was relatively laid back.  I made a brined turkey, a sausage/corn bread/french bread stuffing, mashed potato/turnip/rutabega smash, sweet potatoes, creamed onions, green beans, and cranberry sauce.  It was delicious!  Ann made a yummy apple pie with apples from my grandparent's trees and it, too was great.
