I started off the day cooking at our house - thinking I would get a lot more done than I did the day before, but we had gone to the movies ( glad we did , it was a great movie ) Then I had to make one more stop at Wegmans - happy they were open - so I started out a little behind the 8 ball. It was not only me, David could not start the roasted turkey until I got there with things from the store.
Got out the pre game snacks - you really do not need a whole lot on Thanksgiving . Some meats and cheeses, one was a cranberry stilton that I just love. Some Olives and grapes - easy peasy. Cocktail of the day were Apple Cider or Cranberry " Mimosas ".
Pumpkin Spice sugared rims -
It was a team effort to get the meal on the table, Jodi fresh from their early morning Turkey Trot made the dressing which turned out really well.

It had to have been one of if not the warmest Thanksgivngs ever in Rochester
I have had this sort of Thanksgiving themed toile table cloth for years and have never used it on the actual day. It is not really a Thanksgiving cloth, it just has farm scenes on it , and a few turkeys..
Busy table cloth simple everything else, white and white
Big display of bright orange tulips to bring in some color

David really does make a wonderful Turkey, both of them were
