Philadelphia For Thanksgiving



This is Squanto! Thanks Grandma Linda for the headdress, Alex wore it almost all day.



The turkey was a success. Patrick and Jordan dressed it and roasted it. I am not quite sure about some of the technics they used, but the dressing was awesome and nobody got sick. Actually it was quite good!




Here are Bex and Cassi. With a turkey twice Bex's size.

Evidently Squanto enjoys mashed potatoes.




Cassi set a beautiful table. We ate yams (Jordan's family recipe), mashed potatoes and gravy (Eror family recipe), cranberry sauce (Patricia recipe), pumpkin pie (Linda's recipe with Kohler pie crust), turkey and stuffing (Mary Barnes' recipe), Apple pie (Claire's recipe), pecan pie, fresh hot rolls, green beans, and cranberry jellp salad. Basically we all made pigs of ourselves. And unfortunately we just ran out of left overs.




On Patrick's birthday the Allreds suprised Patrick with a candle and a song. We had celebrated his birthday also with philly cheese steak sandwhiches. Yummy!!! We had a great time and were really sad to leave the Allreds. We miss you guys and hope to see you soon! It was our first thanksgiving away from family. It was nice to have friends to share it with while we were away from Utah. Also, thanks Linda for fixing up some of the photos for me. And family, I hope you had awesome feasts... we'll be home for Christmas.
