We weren't planning on a traditional Thanksgiving this year. Kevin's parents were away in Utah for the holiday, and my own family was not getting together until the Saturday after--to enjoy something new this year: oven fried chicken and pascolina (spinach pie) courtesy of my sister and her new husband. It seemed like a good idea to cook up a simple turkey, bake some rolls, and snack away before heading out for a relaxing Thanksgiving-day movie.
The morning of, though, Kevin decided that the day just wouldn't be the same without the anticipated Thanksgiving meal. So, we quickly whipped up some mashed potatoes, heated a couple of cans of veggies, opened a few bottles of sparkling cider, threw on our nicest table cloth, and sat down to a hodge-podge Thanksgiving dinner. It wasn't very impressive, but we certainly did enjoy ourselves ... and we definitely enjoyed the huge pumpkin pie my mom had picked up the day before at Costco. YUM!
Apparently sitting down to a "formal" dinner did not stop us from having some fun.
We were lucky to have the very stylish Grandma Loo along with us for the day.
And what's Thanksgiving without a little post-turkey nap ... good luck, Hon!
What fun, and oh so much to be grateful for!

Here's James doing an excellent job with the whipping cream (for the pie of course).
And here we are sitting down to our wonderful meal. Sorry about the potatoes in Porter's mouth ... it was the best picture I could find.
