She also hosted Thanksgiving this year, and went totally all out. She even made prime rib and ham to go with the turkey and her sweet potato surprise is the best thing i've ever tasted. aaaah yummmm..... The table was beautifully decorated and everything on it was delicious...except for the jello salad i was assigned...it turned out to be more of a jello fudge than a salad...who knew you were suppose to "whip" the whip cream? well, now I know for next year. (assuming they dare assign me anything next year).
Courtney went to town with her thanksgiving plate. I've never seen her eat so much corn and rolls! Apparently Melina cooks better than I do, because Courtney loved it!
The guys (and Katy) went downstairs and watched Wall E while Melina, Mom, and I did a Christmas puzzle upstairs.
Courtney was fascinated with everything on Melina's fridge. Or maybe she's trying to get into it for leftovers.
After eating at Melina's, we went to Jeremy's mom's house to...yep, eat again! It's amazing how much Jeremy can eat without getting full, jeez! I made Dawn pose for a picture so I would have one of her for the blog and scrapbook. haha ; )Here's Jeremy's aunt, uncle, and cousin.. diane, wesley, and i'm drawing a blank on her husband's name..which is going to drive me crazy until i remember it...
Here they are... I wonder if that's what Jeremy and I look like..him so tall and me so short! Of course, Katy's legs are bent and she's leaning downward, so they don't normally look quite that funny!
Oma and Jaz
Once everyone had come back, we played Thanksgiving Bingo... here's Melina explaining the rules. The winner gets a gift certificate to Applebees! And here's Jeremy being not-so-subtle with his finger. Apparently he'd been doing that all day in all the pictures.
Courtney helped me play...by eating the crayons. mmm.....I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Courtney is so cute in her little Turkey shirt. She is adorable!!
wow, that is a ton of Thanksgiving that you had. How great that Melina has become such an accomplished cook, but if I'm correct it wasn't always like that:) Congrats on going to Applebee's! (I can't believe it wasn't to Jakers!)
Thanksgiving should always be that wonderful! It looks like you had a really nice day.
It was a fantastically fun day!! Great pictures. I love this holiday with family.
