The Feast

What a gorgeous feast! And if it looks this pretty imagine how good it tasted! Here was our menu!!

Turkey (of course!), Stuffing, my special garlic mashed potatoes =), gravy, green beans, rolls (way to go Rach!), Christmas Cranberry Salad. And for dessert we made 6 pies!! 2 cherry, 2 humongous apple pies, one positively perfect pumpkin pie and one special caramel pecan pumpkin pie. I sampled all of them....more than once and was thouroughly impressed! I ate way too much and was really thankful for my happy tummy!

Here is our spread! Grandma McKneely made these table runners especially for the event and the glasses were new--weren't they the nice touch?




Here are Sam and KP sitting down to eat their portions of the feast.

We had a crew celebrating this holiday with us. The McKneely original 7--Joey came in from Zurich, Andy's family (add 3), Stephen's family (add 4), My parents (add 2) had an empty nest and so they drove up that morning to eat with us, then went on to visit my sister in Austin. Our friend Ilya (add 1) from Russia was also celebrating with us. He's working in the states right now and came to be with us. So for those of you who are counting....that's 17 wonderful people to be thankful for!!
