Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we decided to have Thanksgiving at our house. So I with a month of trying to be prepared the final week came and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday became busy but accomplishing days. The big day finally came and it was a feast to behold.

We had friends and family join us for this big feast. We were missing two people that weren't able to come, but hope they had a great Thanksgiving dinner especially with great delivery!

Two turkeys were prepared, one by roasting the other by smoking, along with stuffing, garlic mash potatoes and apple jack brandy gravy, spinach salad, sweet potatoes, cranberries and rolls. We also had a delicious relish tray and delicious Grandma Hone Recipie punch.

Thank you to everyone who helped maked this dinner fabulous.
