Thanksgiving 2010: Last Girl Standing

Sis was the last person eating. We can't be sure where it all went. Four servings of turkey, three rolls, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing, gravy. All brown or carbs. We couldn't believe she kept going.

Dinner went well, only about an hour off schedule which was fully expected. The rolls actually tasted good, even if they were heavier than they should've been. The 13 lb turkey actually did roast in about an hour, a la Mark Bittman's de-backboning method. The gravy was divine (and is now almost all gone). Bud liked the cranberry sauces. The rest of us ate (almost) everything. The adults then cleaned up while the kids, Goo, and I played some DS (actually, I napped until Bud crawled on my head!)

And after a little rest time watching Star Wars, she wants to know where the pumpkin pie is!

As we said for our blessing, holding hands and then passing around a squeeze, "We are thankful for being. We are thankful for being here. We are thankful for being here together."
