Thanksgiving 2007

This year, we chose to host Thanksgiving (it's far easier to have everyone bring food to our house than take all 6 of us somewhere else...).

J did an awesome job dressing up the patio - the weather was so nice, we were actually able to eat outside without breaking a sweat.


We deep fried the turkey (we've been skipping the oven since 2001). If you've never used a deep fryer for Thanksgiving turkey, I highly recommend you get one.

We had everything from stuffing to greenbeans to different breads, and more.

There were 18 of us there - what a motley bunch!

I was able to snap a great picture of Maggie with her namesake - my mom.

It was nice to spend time with the family and enjoy a hearty meal together.
