Thanksgiving!

I don't really too many pictures of Thanksgiving... I guess I was too busy running frantically around the kitchen! You'd think since this was my third time hosting Thanksgiving dinner I'd have it all figured out by now.

Here's the whole spread:

I guess you'll just have to imagine Roger & Linda and Ashley sitting around the table with us!

I meant to take another with everybody seated (Weeda family tradition, you know) but I guess we all just wanted to start eating!




It doesn't look like a ton of food in this picture, but there was SO MUCH FOOD leftover!






And here are the desserts:
Pumpkin Cheesecake


Apple Pie


and


Toasted Pecan Pie




Next time I think I'll try a different cheescake recipe (this one maybe?), because I thought the oven was a bit too hot on this one. The edges got dark before the center was set, and then it cracked a lot. Not beautiful, but still tasty.

The apple pie recipe is totally a keeper! Brad says it's a state fair winner. I think I need to improve the crust a bit before it's to that point, but it sure is delicious!

And the pecan pie is my favorite thing ever. I don't dare make it more than once or twice a year... or I'd probably start eating it for breakfast!

We are still eating the pecan pie but had some help finishing up the rest of in the past few days. It was fun to have Julia Brist here for special meeting company! Nate and Brittany also came over to eat with us. I should have taken some pictures of that visit too! Someday I will learn to keep my camera handy.
