Early Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving Meal

Rachael, John, and the girls arrived in Timberline during the late afternoon. The meal was ready. It was one of those occasions where you feel that the food was so plentiful that it could have supplied all residents of Davis and Thomas, WV.



The menu consisted of ham, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, cooked apples, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes with brown sugar glaze, and rolls. The desserts were a plethora of delights including apple pie, pumpkin roll, pecan pie, gingerbread with orange glaze, chocolate cherry cake, sugar cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies.



My good wife was working like a beaver building a dam before the storms move in. She (and all the others) did a fantastic job. What a job to coordinate all the items to be ready for the table at the same time!




The kids donned their party hats in anticipation of Lucy's party which was happening directly after the meal.

I know that we had full bellies, but the birthday cake was soon presented and we could not disappoint the little ones. (Isn't gluttony a sin?)

John got into the birthday party spirit. He actually wore a third hat in the back of his head. I believe he was doing the birthday triceratops thingie.

Mr. Nate was also in the celebration mood. You have to love his Prince Charming bib!

Lucy, where is your hat? On tomorrow's blog we will see the after Thanksgiving dinner birthday party.
