This year we hosted friends for Thanksgiving. Wes and Jenny came over and another friend from work, Johnny, joined us as well. My second turkey solo! Jay did the carving honors. I even ventured into homemade rolls, homemade pumpkin pie and a sweet potato and apple stuffing. I was pretty nervous on Wednesday as I seemingly destroyed my kitchen with flour and veggies...but I just kept talking to Nanu, asking her to guide my hands and to help me do it just the way she would have. Much to my surprise, my angel must have been with me because everything turned out very well. Jay even really seemed to enjoy the pumpkin pie and stufing, which beforehand he would have sworn he didn't like!! Jenny even used Nanu's squash casserole recipe...I am sure she was somewhere smiling down on us all. I even broke out my holiday china for the very first time and used Nanu's handmade placemats...I was very excited!! Here are some photos from our little holiday in Clute :-)
