Thanksgiving feast!

James was excited to have mom and dad home ALL DAY- and even though it rained all morning long, we still had a good time at home- mainly cooking!!! Well, mainly MOMMY cooking...

Here is our thanksgiving feast. Duck (see pics), mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, Jaquays, gravy, martinelli's- it all made for a delicious (and FILLING) dinner. We are truly thankful! In Primary, one of our teachers mentioned that her family does the thankful ABC's WHILE everyone is eating dinner! We thought that was a pretty good idea so we did it too! it took a lot of thought- especially Q, X, U- but it was fun and really made us think of what we are thankful for besides food.

The duck right out of the oven! It was delicious! Duck is a very flavorful meat and we don't have a month's worth of leftovers hanging out in our fridge- very good! We truly enjoyed the day and have much to be thankful for!
