Our Thanksgiving Feast

I was so excited when I found out that we would be having family in town for Thanksgiving! It's one meal that I actually look forward to making, but it's more fun to have family to share it with. As an added bonus, Rachel was in town and the rest of her family wasn't, so we had the pleasure of her company!

For our dinner, I made (with a bit of help from Erin and Mom) all of our famliy's tradional recipes for the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, frog eye salad, green beans, raspberry pretzel salad, pumpkin pie, and a chocolate pie (made by Parker who got the idea from his Primary teacher). My mom and I also tried a new recipe for mashed sweet potatoes which was really good, but way richer than I'm used to! Everything turned out great and we had a wonderful afternoon and evening as family and friends.
