A Fun Thanksgiving 2010

My brother Jeff and his wife Kim hosted Thanksgiving for the 14 in our family.
First off, a family tradition for over 30 years - Ted Peters smoked mullet spread:
Don't forget the hot sauce:
21 pounder cooked in 4 1/2 hours:
I cooked a stuffed pumpkin at home and finished it on his egg, along with jalepeno dressing:
The pumpkin was stuffed with granny smith apples, onion, 1 clove garlic, and stale cornbread, half and half, fresh thyme. You scrape into the inside of the pumpkin when dishing it out. It got good reviews.
We had a record 10 side dishes this year:
Mashed Potato Casserole
Pineapple Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Stuffed Pumpkin
Jalepeno Dressing
Cheesy Vegetable Casserole
Sweet Potatoe Puree
Homemade Applesauce
Corn Casserole
I can't remember the other one!
Plated:
But forgot the fresh cranberry sauce on the plate~
The family - no the children are not drinking wine, they are drinking sparkling cider!
My brother Jeff and the clean plate club:
Let the contests begin! My SIL arm wrestling her daughter- the mom won!
The grandparents can still touch their toes:
The dog thinks we are all nuts:
The cutest thing of all was this card my youngest niece made for me for Thanksgiving:
She got it right!
It was a great Thanksgiving.

Great post Faith. You have a nice size family. Your brother Jeff looks like the guy in the TV show Homes on Homes. I could not tell who was the mom on the arm wrestling contest and I wish I could touch my toes. Beautiful husky. Blessings to you all. Tim & Cindy
