Thanksgiving

Mary celebrated her first Thanksgiving in style.

 We got to host the big day for the first time because Dave and Gayle decided to come up to Oregon for a couple of weeks. They stayed in Reedsport, but came over for the day on Thanksgiving.

 We managed to all squeeze into the kitchen to work on preparing food together.

  It wasn't our intention to have a menu that wasn't traditional, but that's how it ended up. We had autumn bounty stuffed pork, baked beans, spinach and butternut squash salad, Brussels sprouts with pecans and honey, stuffed pumpkin, cranberry relish, and cranberry sauce. It was fun to work on everything together and then enjoy all the delicious food.

Mary discovered it was a lot easier to slide around if she got on the kitchen floor.

Dessert was much more traditional with pumpkin and pecan pies and Tea of Good Tidings. All in all, it was a fun, festive day.
