What a great day. The Post Thanksgiving Dinner get-together was a great success. We had tons of food, all my recipes came off without a hitch (okay, there was a boilover moment with the polenta, but I was the only one who saw it...oh yeah, and we had to extend the gravy) and we all had a great time. Take a look at my packed plate: Here's the menu we ended up with: Can you imagine the electricity bill for this place? Good thing they're using lots of LED's this year Kellan was bundled as if there were a blizzard outside, but it was really a mild evening. We put him in the backpack and wandered around the sparkling gardens (which, as some of you may remember is where Michael and I got married, so it was a nice trip down memory lane for us). I had heard Santa Claus might be there. He wasn't. I guess he had too much work to do at the North Pole. But I'm sure we'll catch up to him sometime in the next few weeks. Ron shooting a picture of a glowing, green shrub, with Mom, Michael and Kellan playing peek-a-boo in the little stone house in the background Mom amidst the twinkling wonderland of lights My two princes, inside a castle Michael peeking at the little monkey on his back A merry group of "Day after Thanksgiving" holiday revelers A family portrait on the swing bench-- Kellan got a pretty big kick out of trying to push Mommy's head out of the shot It's pretty obvious I have a lot to be thankful for.

Looks really yummy! I'm glad it went off without a hitch! I used your link for the honeyed squash and it was the best I've ever had...I'll make that recipe over and over. Everyone loved it.
