Thanksgiving happenings

Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone.  We usually have Thanksgiving at our house, but with a new baby that was not something I was looking forward to this year.  Although we do a potluck dinner there's still a lot of work involved with hosting a big food event at your house.  So my brother and sister-in-law (Max and Wendy) were gracious enough to host dinner at their house this year.  That took a huge load off us. 

We had a great time.  The food was awesome.  I made parmesan fondue for an appetizer, brussels sprouts with dried cranberries and walnuts for a side dish and key lime pie for dessert.  We also had a ham, turkey,  stuffing & gravy, broccoli cheese casserole, cheddar & poppy seed mashed potatoes, sweet potato mountain, rolls, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pies.

After dinner we all got to enjoy watching videos from their computer on their TV (including our current fave: Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger", and LMFAO videos).  "Moves Like Jagger" is a new favorite for sure. 
My nephew, Ashton, showing us his breakdancing - he did some great windmills.

Max and Wendy set up two long tables so we could all actually sit together.

My uncle Jim and Matt were in town for Thanksgiving and we got together with them the next day so they could meet Hank.  Here were are at Bread & Ink Cafe for brunch.
