We had a fabulous gathering yesterday with lots of good food, great friends and family. The turkey was a wee bit slow coming out but we were well prepared with cheese and crackers to tide everyone over. The kids provided some predinner music and the littlest enjoyed checking out the shoes.

We had turkey, mashed potatoes with caramelized shallots (plain for the kids), gravy, sprouts with hazlenuts, green bean casserole, cornbread oyster dressing, shrimp (for Daniel who doesn't eat turkey), spiced cranberry sauce and buttermilk butter rolls.

For dessert there was pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan pie. Yum!
