We hosted some of Chris' family for Thanksgiving this year. It went really well for our first Holiday in our new house. By the looks of this mess I thought I would be in trouble but everything finished on time and everything was delicious!
We had enough food for an army! I cooked wayyyy too much food but I had no idea how to cook for 10 people so I just kept adding to my recipes. This will give you a hint at how I overcooked, I bought an EIGHTEEN pound ham for 10 people. I told my Nana on the phone and she said, "Well you really only get a 1/2 pound per person, so I bought 13 extra pounds. Oh well it was soooo delicious I froze the leftovers for later.
I made the ham, deviled eggs, whipped sweet potatoes with bananas and honey, green bean casserole, corn casserole (my new favorite dish), cranberry sauce from scratch, rolls, Pumpkin Cheesecake bars, Chris made the mashed potatoes from scratch which were extra fluffy and delicious and I loved every second of it.
Here is our feast!
The "Kid" Table
I can't wait to do it all again for Christmas.

That looks like it was awesome Brittany!! You were made to host parties and be a planner/decorator. I wish I had your skills :)
Love, Casey
I am jealous I wasn't able to be in your beautiful home for Thanksgiving. Can't wait for all of us to be together for Christmas. I too am most grateful for a quick recovery and your wonderful boyfriend, your beautiful home, your job and your quest to get your education. You amaze me as a "grown up"! Love you, Mom
