My sister and her family joined us for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal. She brought a fabulous apple pie and Jason and I spent the morning working on sausage stuffing, oyster and cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, a sweet potato dish from Fine Cooking that was outrageously good, brussels sprouts, mixed wild mushrooms, pumpkin rolls and a brined White Holland turkey with herb butter that was the best we’ve ever cooked. We managed to fit all 8 people at the table for a very enjoyable meal.

Before we ate I pulled out the new camera remote and we took a few quick pictures. When kids are involved you can’t do too many takes or things will degrade quickly so you’ve got to just go with one of the first few. I would like to have adjusted the camera so that people filled more of the frame but I’m happy with the pictures we did get and it was fun to get a picture of everyone together. For the knitters out there, this is the sister who was given the Bar Harbor Shell bag and this is the niece who likes to knit.
