The Food...ohhh, the bountiful food!

We had soooo much food. The counters were overflowing as we dished up buffet style. We had a deep fried whole turkey and 2 roasted turkey breasts.


We had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes w/pecans and brown sugar, stuffing, acorn squash, green beans w/peanuts(quite good!), corn, Uncle Ron's homemade rolls, cranberry jelly, our traditional 24-hour fruit salad(my Mom's made this since 1950 and my girls and myself continue to do so.) After a bit of a rest, we broke out the desserts! These included Pumpkin Cake in honor of Rachel's birthday, Pumpkin Crumble, Pumpkin Pie, two Chocolate Cream Pies, Apple Pie, Peach Praline Pie, and Fudge Ball Cookies. I may have left out something but let me just say....it tasted absolutely wonderful! What a blessing...to have all this family together and the abundance of food. I'm very thankful .
