How was your Thanksgiving?

[eyeamdry]

We were going to our daughters house and her cousin and youngster were coming in from Indianapolis.  This would be a big group for us.  Now, plus the grand pup along with a 5 y/old. (No not my husband).  Daughter's cousin could not make the trip.  I was in too much pain from my knee/leg that I didn't want to go and put a damper on it plus my daughter had a cold.  I do not need this on top of the knee replacement.  I am afraid of germs now.

So, then it appeared it would only be my husband and our daughter.  Well some time after my hubby came home, he mentoned a "friend" who had joined them for dinner.  This "friend" is an ex-BF and they sometimes still do stuff together. I don't believe he has anyone to spend the holiday with.  I had a day of healing and did get some of the goodies.  My hubby took a nice bone over for the dog (not chicken or turkey) and I guess she (dog) was engrossed the whole time gnawing on the bone and didn't jump around and get all hyper.  It was a good day.  Lucy

It was a really nice day!  We had the usual meal that's too large at my MIL's house. Turkey, dressing, several vegetables, chicken and dumplings, salads and pumpkin pie. 

The prep work wasn't bad. Our daughter came into town Wed. and she, I and her Dad went to MIL's that night to make the pumpkin pie, make deviled eggs and a waldorf salad.  We had help on Thursday from our neice, nephew and his fiance.  There was a total of 15 people, including the 4 children.

We had good food, good company and fun together, which was the most important part. My mother-in-law was thrilled that all 3 of her children were there, all 3 grandkids and her 2 great-grandchildren (and one on the way.) She is such a generous lady; I'm glad we made her day special.
