Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day started out exciting for Lauren, because she pulled a tooth. The only problem is that we don't know if the Tooth Fairy comes to England, and if she does, will she leave English money or American money? We will know the answer in the morning!
Ron was working 2nd shift today, so he had to leave for work about 1:15 p.m. We had our Thanksgiving meal at noon.
Here are some photos of our England Thanksgiving. The first one shows some of the food----candied carrots, turkey,and mashed potatoes. Not in the picture are the delicious rolls that Julie and the girls made (Jo Fay's roll recipe!). You can tell that it is not quite the usual quantity or variety of our traditional Thanksgiving!
The next picture shows Lauren doing the job that she likes best---keeping the ice emptied into a bowl so there is enough for us to use. Notice the size of our one ice tray!

Next is Katelyn showing our "cranberry sauce" (cranberry and apple "conserve" made by our preacher, Trevor) and our "fruit salad" (fruit cocktail).

Notice our dining table---the coffee table in the living room. It is twice as big as our kitchen table! The girls had made some decorations, but they did not fit on the table!

You might can tell that everyone was looking at the computer screen-----no, it wasn't the Dallas Cowboy game!

Lauren let me know if the tooth fairy comes in England. If not, I think you should bring it home and put under your pillow. Looks as if you had a great Thanksgiving lunch.

I wouldn't care that you didn't have a selection of different foods...as long as you had Grandmommy's rolls (you did have butter...right?) I'm glad that y'all had a fun Thanksgiving!
