A Thanksgiving to Remember

Hello all. We had one rule this Thanksgiving, and that was to not get out of our loungewear all day. We managed to succeed. I have never made such a scaled down Thanksgiving meal and I had never spent the entire Thanksgiving Day in my pajamas but it was fantastic. We did miss our families, but we enjoyed a little down time with Maggie. Maggie began the day wearing her "My Little Turkey" onesie and bib from Aunt Kelle and Uncle Matt. Early in the evening, we changed her into her lounge wear.

Matt and I dined on Greenberg smoked turkey from Tyler, Texas, green bean casserole (at Matt's request), cornbread dressing, and mashed potatoes and gravy. I also made Matt a pumpkin pie. Maggie enjoyed her first real table food in mashed potatoes. I made some special for her that I just boiled in unsalted water and then mashed up in very small pieces. She didn't really like them. She gave us a face like "aren't these supposed to have butter, sour cream, cheese or at the very least gravy on them?" Once she recovered from the mashed potato experience, she scarfed down squash, green beans, and pears.

After Matt gave her the first taste of potatoes.

It was a fantastic Thanksgiving, and one we won't ever forget.
