My Thanksgiving

Pumpkin Creme Pies
Here is the pecan pie I made. I didn’t have enough time to let my crust set up because I cooked it the morning of. I forgot that it has to be refrigerated for at least an hour before rolling it out.
Geeez Jen, how could you make such a rookie mistake?!? It still tasted wonderful. It was just the presentation that was lacking.

Ya’ll’ve (wow! a double contraction….NICE) seen my Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie so I didn’t take a picture of it this time.

Puff Pastry-Wrapped Brie
And here are just some pictures of the fun we had that day. This is my nephew, I call him JD, but his name is Jerry. What a face!!! Love this kid.





I don’t know if it is like this in every family, but the guys in mine are Deviled Egg-aholics. It’s bad!
This is what the tray looked like in the 1st 3 minutes…yup, it was full. We made them promise not to eat anymore until dinner started. To make certain they each got two more; the boys decided they should be in charge of egg distribution for the remainder of the evening. I was the Deviled Egg moderator.

My in-laws came over to celebrate with my family, and that always makes for great conversation. After dinner, due to a lingering sinus headache, I went upstairs and passed out for like 2.5 hours while the guys all played Call of Duty :: Modern Warfare 2.

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving.
