Riley and Avery

I made the pies in the morning, two pumpkin and an apple pie.  We didn't freak out about Thanksgiving, running around like crazy people yelling and stuff because we're all stressed out.  I never understood that.  I'm very much in favor of a relaxed Thanksgiving!  Thankfully, Ben did the turkey, and did it very well.  I don't touch raw meat.  We had green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes (and gravy, of course), and I forget what else.  I botched the whipped cream, though.  I "didn't have" confectioner's sugar, so I tried to blend up regular sugar and it just didn't work.  Of course, I found nearly two full bags of confectioner's sugar in the pantry a day or two ago.  Dur.  We also ate at a normal time.  I never understood the insanely early meal time on Thanksgiving.  I called my grandparents to wish them a happy Thanksgiving, and they said that they ate between 11 and 12.  That's just wacky.

The only picture taken on Thanksgiving, but I think it's a keeper!
