We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday this year because Abby was working on Thanksgiving day. We divided up the cooking and made most of the dishes earlier in the week. On Friday, we got up and made the pies and turkey. Here’s a photo of all the food.
Beginning at the turkey centerpiece that Abby crafted and going roughly clockwise we have a basket of onion bread and crescent rolls, carrots with onions and bacon, pumpkin pie, homemade cranberry sauce, the Angermeier family green bean casserole, a brined turkey breast, corn pudding, a huge amount of stuffing, mashed sweet potatoes with a pecan streusel topping, the Zander family green jello salad, pecan pie, and mashed potatoes. You can also see the Elizabeth Spencer Grenache we had with dinner. And we did have gravy, but we couldn’t fit it on the table.
If you can’t tell, we made enough food for at least 8 people. We barely made a dent in any of the dishes during dinner. At this point we’re just hoping to finish our Thanksgiving food by Christmas.
This is what the table looked like when we removed all the food and sat down to eat.
Here are photos of both of us in our turkey headbands that Abby crafted for us.
We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and we want all our family and friends to know how thankful we are to have you in our lives.
Love,
Abby and David

Holy cats, that's a lot of food for two little people! But it does look yummy. The only bad thing about going to Sheboygan? No leftovers. I'm jealous of your centerpiece and headbands, too. They look excellent, real Thanksgiving-y and colorful. Good job, Abby.
Love, Mom
