Sofia and Olivia's Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Cynthia, Uncle Jay, Chandler and Jillian arrived on Thanksgiving day, so we decided to take it easy that day and enjoy our Thanksgiving celebration on Friday. We also decided to order our meal from Central Market and make a few favorite sides and desserts so we could enjoy our time together and not spend the entire time in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes. Cynthia made a sweet potato casserole, CK and his Mom made a delicious chocolate chip pecan pie, and I made brussel sprouts and two different kinds of pumpkin pie. CK also made our favorite apple crisp, which he made our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple in our D.C. house. Brenda, CK's cousin's wife brought her flan and two casseroles. So, needless to say, we had plenty of food! My Uncle always printed off a menu for our Thanksgivings together and I decided to do the same, although several of the dishes didn't make it since we had so much food!
We ate around 1:30pm and everything was delicious! After our meal we sat around the table talking before digging into our desserts, which were equally delicious. All said, it was a great day and such fun to be together!
