In 2 days time it will be Thanksgiving. My family and I celebrated this past weekend since we all live in different places and couldn't be together on Thursday and we had decided on a little family get together to celebrate my brother in laws birthday. We had a great time, with tons of delish food! and what was even better was the way that everyone chipped in to help - I wish I had taken a picture of everyone in the kitchen all hands on deck!
Of course no mormon celebration is complete without a bit of Shloer! It wasn't quite as cool as the Root Beer I was drinking last Thanksgiving, but it wasn't all bad!
England let us down on the Turkey front. Apparently supermarkets only bring them in fresh in December in preparation for Christmas so we had to make do with two chickens! It wasn't quite the same but they certainly were tasty thanks to Arne and my mom make the platter look pretty!
This is the table in all it's glory, laden with food!
There were tooo many side dishes to even take pics of, but here was the creamy corn that I whipped up...
and yes, that is purple mashed potato! By rustled up all the potato dishes...roasted, sweet and the famous purple mash! It is not artificially coloured, the potatoes used were really purple!
Mara made a green bean and roasted onion casserole and we had mini sausages and stuffing too!
Here's the birthday boy himself...
and some of the sisters...
and me and By...totally excited about the feast that was ahead of us!
We rounded off the day in the only way we Jones' know how...with a dessert bar! only this was a pie bar! especially for Thanksgiving! We had Key Lime, Banana & Chocolate Cream, Apple pie pops, Mini Pumpkin pies and mini S'mores pies...quite a feast! If you want to check out some of the pies in detail you can see them here.
Some good blurring in the pics. I don't like the one of me - too pale. But you got some good shots of all the yummy food!
