My baby girl and her pigtails.
My new KitchenAid mixer that made these a snap to make for Thanksgiving!
Lovely place settings at my sister-in-law's house.
Grandma Lucas's famous mashed carrot potatoes and homemade turkey gravy.
Delectable sweet potato casserole (recipe here) and stuffing.
My contributions: buttery crescent rolls and this pear-gorgonzola-bacon-candied-pecan salad that is truly "salad crack" (as tipster Melissa Kaiserman aptly called it). I could eat it all day long.
A roomy kitchen for the Thanksgiving meal. "Roomy" is not a word I've ever been able to apply to my own kitchen.
A baby who actually ate some of the items on her plate—just before throwing the rest on the floor. :)
This candid shot of the teenager who becomes more and more reluctant to be photographed as the years go by.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!
