"Prudence" the pitcher - she always makes an appearance at my mom's Thanksgiving dinner table. We're not sure if she is judging the amount of food on our plates or the fact that a turkey is hiding under her skirt!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday aside from Christmas. Maybe its the fact that Thanksgiving day seems to kick off the holiday season. Wake up, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and see Santa at the end of the parade. Stuff ourselves with fantastic homemade food... brined turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green vegetables, stuffing, salad, and of course the amazing gravy and orange-cranberry sauce. YUM!
And of course this year we had many things to be thankful for. Baby Charlotte's safe arrival, our hilarious little Blakely, and my grandma's home potentially selling after being on the market for only a week! And last but not least... PIE! Here is one of my grandma's pecan pie recipes. Enjoy!
