What the...?

Two hour wait for doughnuts anyone?

Most everyone is seated in this picture, so you can see that everyone was packed in pretty tight. We bought fourteen placemats for the dinner, but it turned out that they were way too big. Luckily they were made of cloth, so we were able to fold them in half.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

We hosted our first ever Thanksgiving dinner Thursday night. We had 12 guests (14 turkey-eaters total) which made it by far the biggest gathering we've ever attempted. This is a picture of the bird--fresh out of the oven.
