happy un.................to you

sometimes in our family we celebrate an unbirthday...just for the fun of it.

this weekend we decided (since we are all turkey fanatics and we have
so much to be grateful for) to celebrate a very merry unthanksgiving day.
we ordered our fresh turkey from fresh market.
invited family and friends...and proceeded to cook our little hearts out.

of course there had to be flowers...from the garden.

and a special table set with candles...placesettings...

name plates...

did i mention turkey? this is the one meal dh cooks mostly by himself.

he makes the turkey...with seasoning help from moi'...he makes the dressing from

scratch...mashed red potatoes with lots of real butter...cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries.

it always turns out amazing.

then the rest of us make the other side dishes/desserts.

who doesn't love thanksgiving...it is one of my favourite holidays...so why wait for

it to come around only once a year.

while dinner is still being cooked we all sit and chat endlessly

of our lives, the latest news, of our children's lives...

it is always great to have an intense conversation amongst friends

and family.

and there were delicious desserts to indulge in...pound cake...buttercream

coconut cake...cherry pie... new york style cheese cake and cupcakes for the younger ones.

it was a great day to be together.
