Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving day!  I was so fortunate to have Karley and Kasey home for a couple of days.  They got in about 2:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving day.  Mom and Dad also decided to join us for lunch so it was shaping up to be a fun time.
Before Mom and Dad got there, we entertained ourselves by watching the Macy's day parade and then the National Dog Show out of Philadelphia.  It was a great dog show!  So fun to watch.

Look!  Snoopy on T.V.!

Mom and Dad got there...  Late as usual!  But better late then never.  :-)

Kasey, Gpa Jack, and Karley

I know what you are thinking..  You are thinking how could Jeri possibly cook a Thanksgiving dinner considering the lack of cooking skill and all.  We decided to divide and conquer!  We each had our responsibilities so at least I couldn't burn everything!  :-) 

The next Rachel Ray

Kasey wanted to cook mashed sweet potatoes.  So I said go for it!!  They turned out fantastic.

Karley of course didn't cook anything.  She just spends her time avoiding responsibility and messing around.  That's the baby for you.  :-)  Love you Karl!

Gma Helen!  How did you get so short??

My responsibility was the cheesy potatoes.  And I'm happy to say, yes, I am the next America's top chef!  They turned out perfectly!  Okay maybe they were a little crunchy around the edges but the middle was really good!  I swear!

mmm....  cheesy!!  :-)  Maybe just a little crunchy around the edges..

Mike cooked the turkey breast on the grill.  It turned out good as well.  So the meal was a success!  There is always a way around my cooking handicap.  :-)

gobble gobble!

Apple and Dora would have liked a bit of turkey too but we made them wait.  :-)  Poor abused things...

Drop something....  drop something...

So many people to beg from!

After lunch it was nap time!  zzzzzzz......

And time for some homework!

I decided I wanted to see exactly what Karley was studying...  Or was she just reviewing phone numbers of her boy friends....

I guess she actually was doing homework...  I tried to explain to Karley the difference between diffusion and osmosis but she didn't think she needed my help...  Good thing she wasn't studying chemistry.  I could have really helped her fail with that assignment.

It was a great Thanksgiving.  I hope yours was just as good if not better.  I'm so thankful for so many things...  Hope you are as well.
