Thanksgiving Day - VZ style

Well, it was just the three of us this Thanksgiving, but that didn't stop us from having a huge meal with all the fixins'....Gabi and I prepared the pies on Wednesday night. We made pecan pie for the first time to put a little southern twist on things. Of course we made the crust from scratch using mom's trusty recipe.
Some of us were up early on Thursday morning...cooking,
watching the parade....

smelling the giblets cooking....
Some of us stayed in bed a LONG time.....
It was a lovely day, so while we waited for the food to be ready we tried to work up a hunger....
It was VERY hard to wait, however....
Finally everything was ready! We loaded our plates (more than once, I might add) and enjoyed the wonderful flavors of the season!

What a great meal! Hope everyone else had a wonderful day, too!

  1. Love it! Wish we could have been there. Our t-giving was great, but we missed you. AND the weather looks MUCH nicer there!

  2. We missed being in the warm south! Shorts in the back yard, wow. And your meal looks scrumptious.
