It's been tradition since Dale and I were married to spend Thanksgiving Day at his mother's. This year our niece Dottie and her two youngest children made the eight hour drive north to spend the holiday with us. Ashton bought herself a Nintendo DS with the help of birthday money from Dale and I. A Nintendo DS is on the top of Kaylie's Christmas list this year, so she and Ashton spent time playing while the meal was being finalized.
Our menu: 
After the meal Dottie and I played around with our cameras, experimenting with the macro mode. This eye belongs to Avery!
Most of Dottie's time was spent resting, wrapped in blankets to stay warm. Soon after arriving to Maryland, Wednesday evening, she became ill. 
Kassie spent her Thanksgiving Day doing what she does every other day of the year -- reading a book!

Once the dishes were done Dale and Bonnie watched their favorite Bluegrass performers on DVD while the rest of us complained about it! LOL! We usually all sit together and watch a Christmas movie, but this year Bluegrass won out!

What the heck is barbecue green beans??????
Glad Dottie could make it, but sorry she wasn't feeling well.
I have a recipe for Pistachio Cake... I wonder if it's the same one!
