Happy Thanksgiving!!  Mr. Turkey went in around 7:30.  James brought up china, stemware, and our gold flatware, and my green Christmas tablecloth when he came home yesterday.  I spent a good hour or so this morning washing everything and setting the table. 

The turkey got done before Kim and Brian were here so James was texting back and forth with Alex asking him when their estimated time of arrival was.  When James said the turkey was going to get cold Alex said:  "Now we have a car full of angry Horaks'."

Everyone arrived by 11:30.  Kim made her famous pumpkin delight dessert and some stuffing while I made The Pioneer Woman's creamy mashed potatoes with cream cheese, butter, and whole cream.  They are delicious.  I also made candied yams, a green bean casserole, corn and rolls.  Kim and Brian brought up cranberry celebration from Fry's to complete our feast.  We ate around 1 pm.
Let the feasting begin.
Alex and James each got a drumstick.
Small in number but large in appetites.
After the kitchen was cleaned Kim and I watched a Christmas movie called "Christmas Angel" and this week's "Dancing with the Stars."  We also played a game of 5 Crowns, which I won, and just relaxed.

Back at home Sheri, Trina, Tricia and Christy Wanlass ran in the Turkey Trot.  I wish I had their energy.  

It was a fun day.  I love Thanksgiving because it involves good food, family, and very little stress.  For dessert we had pecan pie and pumpkin delight.

I have so many blessing to be thankful for.
