Thanksgiving. All of us together for the first time in about 4 years. With the addition of Grandma
Dopp, Karole Jean, Jake,
Tonks and Grandpa. Thanksgiving day was hectic but fun. Thanks to Heather we all had assignments. Not one person doing it all. Thank you so much for your wisdom Heather. Heather cooked the turkey, stuffing and the Grape ice (an Eddington tradition that we have addopted). I only had to make rolls and Orange Rolls. Kelly made the mashed potatoes and gravy and the traditional Holiday punch. Rosa and Allyson made several Pies. Chocolate silk, Dark chocolate, 2 Banana cream, Lemon Meringue (I ate most of it) and Pumpkin Carmel. We were eating pie all weekend long. Lindsey was in charge of making the green bean casserole and the bean dip appetizer.
Rylee made deviled Eggs (grandma gave instructions) and Gulliver's corn. The men were in charge of clean-up. Karole Jean and Grandma were given the
assignment of visiting with each other.
Karole did come in and help clean the kitchen when we made room for her. As usual the food was eaten in about 30 minutes. It was all good. I am thankful that we had this time together. All of us.
The weekend was busy and we were going every minute. We had plans to have these family pictures taken but we had a hard time getting everyone together. finally on the last day we all drove out to the Mesa Temple and took these. It was dark and we were right by the front steps so there were lots of
interruptions with passing people going to see the Christmas lights but we got it done and I think they turned out very good.
