Thanksgiving '10!

It was just me and Shaun this year for Thanksgiving, so I debated about doing the crazy feast thing...but in the end, I decided to go all out!
I bought a precooked turkey from Publix, so all I had to do was warm it up. Everything else was made by me, though!!! :) I got recipes from my mom, Shaun's mom and sister so that we'd have all of our favorites...
My mom's bread stuffing
Shaun's mom's corn pudding/casserole
Tara's (via Garrett's aunt) sweet potato casserole
My mom's bread pudding for dessert

I also made some green beans with blue cheese and toasted pecans. And bought both kinds of cranberry sauce (jellied and whole berry).
I screwed up the garlic mashed potatoes by adding too much cream, so we didn't have them for dinner but I managed to drain most of the extra cream out, so we have them for leftovers!
And boy! do we have leftovers!!! :) About to heat some of those up right now!!!

Of course, today is traditionally Christmas decorating day. Don't worry, Christmas music is playing, and everything but the tree and the outside decorations are already done! :)
