This year, Ray only had Thanksgiving Day off from work. This did not mean, however, that we did not fully ring in the holiday with many a dinner of gratitude with friends and family, many times over. I regret not having uploaded our family dinner photos (soon to come!!), but here is a start to the Thanksgiving season...
Ray received a turkey at work as a gift to the employees, so we decided to toss one in the oven and give it a practice run before Thankgiving arrived. Yum! For the occasion, we invited over friends Derek, Amanda, their 3 kiddos and friend Hans to join us for the festivities. This dinner was SO good, tossed together by yours truly on a whim. I actually impressed myself, as I hadn't prepared in the least to have people over until mid-day!! Sauteed green beans with garlic and sesame seeds.... roasted fingerling potatoes with onion.... baked sweet potatoes with pecans and feta.... homemade bread... pecan pie.... divine.
Tony and Roslyn Overstake, dear friends of ours, invited myself and the kiddos up to their newly built house for a lovely dinner with their family. I was bummed Ray had to work, but it was a great place for me and little ones to spend our evening, surrounded by so much love....
