I am always amazed each thanksgiving at the amount of food that is cooked and then consumed. This year we decided to stay home since we had just taken a long trip to st. george and my brother comes home in a couple weeks so we will be back down in Utah for that. We were just going to do a simple meal with our neighbors but food is very important to Mitch and thankfully also to our neighbors so we had an amazing feast. We had turkey, ham, rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, yams, devil eggs, corn pudding, sausage balls and veggies. Then we had a pumpkin, pecan, banana cream, two chocolate creams and an apple pie (accept I forgot about it in the oven so it was a little burnt.
As you can imagine, we ate like kings and queens. Mitch says it is one of the best thanksgiving meals he was ever eaten- which is saying something. Luckily we are still eating the leftovers 5 days later.
The results of eating too much food- you get fat and tired.
The kids had fun with all the couch cushions and surprisingly no one got hurt.
That night we stayed in Idaho Falls so we could do the early morning shopping. Sadly, I didn't wake up quite as early as I wanted so we missed out on a couple things that I was really hoping to get but we did come away with most of our christmas shopping done!!! The rest of the weekend was spent playing games, watching football and movies and of course eating more food. It was very relaxing but now it is time to hit the treadmill to work off all those extra calories :)

How fun! Wish we could have been there!
My compliments to the chef. You had one heck of a spread.
