Thanksgiving

We had a relaxing Thanksgiving this year.  We try to keep it as easy as possible so no one has to cook a huge dinner.  We had our tradition of salmon for Thanksgiving, and also had turkey (deli turkey - the only kind anyone will eat anyway, plus it's easy), homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls with butter and raspberry jelly, green beans, pumpkin pie, banana cream pie (everyone's favorite!), pecan pie, and sparkling grape juice.  Everyone talked me into getting out the china and goblets.  I didn't take many pics - too busy relaxing.  We normally go to a movie on Thanksgiving morning, but there weren't any movies we wanted to see so we bought a Wii game... Skylanders instead.  Everyone loved/loves it!

Elizabeth and Caleb helping make banana cream pie.  Helping = lick the bowl and spoon.  Elizabeth has decided she LOVES banana cream pie and wants that for her 7th birthday next year.
All of them waiting for dinner.
