This was the day of the main event and as Ben and I returned from the airport, we were greeted by Justin
as Matt worked on stuffing
and Ed posed for his arrival photo
as did Sarah.
The stuffing was cooking
as the soup mix emerged
and the table was set
as the stuffing started to take shape
while party favors were put at the places
and more food appeared for processing in the kitchen
as tortillas were taken
and Brussels sprouts stood waiting
along with haricot vert
which were about to be strained
as the stuffing was poured
to accompany the beans
and the final bits of Matt's stuffing were prepared
as Suzanne dealt with the parsnips
and Justin checked out.
The soup mixture was growing
and other foods were brought forth
as bread was sliced and diced
and the turkey was bacon'ed and put into the oven.
The mushrooms were cooking away
the bread was being prepared
and even more stuffing emerged
as the next turkey was being readied
along with the haricot vert
Brussels sprouts
and pancetta
even as the mushroom mixture cooked
and parsley was sliced and diced.
A relish tray was begun
along with a cheese tray
which inspired the completion of the relish tray
as nuts were prepared
and this lovely mixture emerged.
This was the moment when the Megarys arrived with Matt and Jack emerging first with Tess close behind
and so the family welcoming photo was taken
along with the welcoming photo of Fran and Dick.
This inspired the creation of the sweet potato fries
and Brussels sprouts
as the fries were put into the oven.
Next we went to Marquand Park where Jack established himself as king of the tree stump.
Back at home, the turkeys were completing
and being cut apart
as onions were being sauteed
with carrots
which amused Kate and Betsy
and Emma and Tess
as Ben's classmate John appeared
and joined the male crowd watching football
as Emma and Kate posed in the kitchen
and dinner foods began to appear
some fresh from the oven
others from the stove top
as Betsy made her way
through the buffet line
and this was Sarah's plate
and Suzanne's
and the turkey meat of differing colors
as the assembled enjoyed their meals
until dessert was served
including pecan pie
and pumpkin pie.
I then put Tess on my shoulders
and swung her upside down
before Will Fisher arrived in socially awkward fashion.
