I am sitting on the couch watching football with my family feeling full and blessed. Can I just say that I love my family, and I love spending time with them! In the past, we have had Thanksgiving at my aunt's house. Due to changes in the family this past year, my mom and dad decided to host Thanksgiving. There were 14 people that shared a meal this year. My mom, with minimal help from my brother, prepared the meal, and it was delicious! The dressing was as good as my grandmother's, and the apple cheese was amazing too. Paula Dean's mac and cheese recipe is always a hit, and my dad grilled the turkey and ham...Is your mouth watering? Mine would be but I'm stuffed to my eyeballs from eating it all! My job of the day...photographing so I could blog!
Mama - the chef
The spread
Dessert table
My other job - taste tester...I tasted raw dressing to make sure it was seasoned right, raw mac and cheese just to check on it, and purple hull peas to make sure they were done
Aunt Glenda and Celia - If you know my GG, ask her if she likes Irish coffee!
Me and Celia - this is a holiday tradition...always trying to get a pic of us...this is the best we could do
Daniel and Uncle Milton
Thad and Aunt Janice
Don't ask!
Diane and Stephanie (Stephanie is my cousin Daniel's wife and Diane is her mom)
Aunt Janice and Justin
Daddy and Uncle Billy (his brother)
One of my favorite things that the women in my family do is sit around at the table and chat after we eat....here is today's scene
Laughing at the stories
Cooking lessons - Stephanie wanted to learn how to cook apple cheese like my mom and aunts, so Aunt Janice taught her!
The Burton men after lunch
My cousin, Cody or "James" depending on where he is
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope you had a great day!

Looks like a beautiful day! Happy Thanksgiving, Buffy!
Sounds like you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Wish we could have been there with you. We had a nice day as well. First in our home together so it was twice as special. I wanted to thank you for the beautiful jewelry. I just dropped the girls off at JJ's for Morgan's B-day and she gave them to me. I hope you are well. Oh, love the new house too. BEAUTIFUL!! Congratulations.
Looks like everyone had a great time! Love the pic of you "taste-testing" food too! ;)
I love the first picture of your mom!
It's been forever since I've been reading other blogs. Love the pics and WOW your camera captures everything like out of a magazine! What a beautiful Thanksgiving you had!
