For Thanksgiving this year, Carrie and I made plans months in advance to just do the festivities at my house. It saves Carrie and Josh the additional 3 hour drive to get to Va Beach and it also saves me the same 3 hour drive to do our usual dinner at Aunt Jill's house. Jill also does a fantastic job, complete with oysters on the grill and these softball-sized yeast rolls that are to die for, but the drive is getting harder to do with 4 kids and a dog. So to quote Cammy, we "pushed the easy button" and just planned for dinner in King George.
Carrie, Josh and family arrived on Wednesday afternoon and we quickly adjusted to a house of 10. Cammy came in on Thanksgiving morning. Peggy and Joe came over to join us for dinner and brought the turkey and sweet potatoes. We covered the rest of the food (apple pie, pumpkin pie pudding, mashed potatoes, yeast rolls, broccoli cheese casserole, etc.) The rest of the visit was a blur of playing, running, screaming, laughing, and eating!
