First Thanksgiving day Feast.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
     Another pretty decent sleep last night slowly getting rested up,  Energy levels still down but feeling a bit better each day.  Got some cereal and coffee consumed , computing done , At 7 am it was 38F outside but sunny and less wind than yesterday, Making the day seem much nicer.
        Then I set to work making a  double batch of Puff Pastry Sausage rolls. for that recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right side bar.
      Wanting to get out and go for a short drive, I have been missing. Suzie allowed me to drive the car today, finally, 1st time since last Tuesday. And it felt good, I just cruised around Tavi car windows open enjoying the fresh air quiet time and local sites.
      Back home by 11:30 then soon time to head inside, I usually help a bit with the food prep but not this year, kinda feel lost, so relaxed chatting with a few relatives watching the activity  and they just keep arriving. By 1PM all 27 of them are here and with the food set out we all began the feast.
snacking and chatting
nice view out back yard from the kitchen door
it is all here so many choices
yummy
       There was 3 tables set up in the front room for all the kids. Making their own noise like kids do. Mind you the adults make enough noise as well.

I chose not too much even then felt like I ate too much
but it sure was good
     Then come the deserts 4 homemade pies by Stacey, 2 apple and 2 pumpkin, I had only a tase of Suzi'e apple pie and it was excellent. Plus there was tarts, cookies, fruit so much food. I had enough.
I all looked so good too
Stacey cutting another pie
         Well by 3 pm I was uncomfortable and the loud noise was getting to me so I came home and to get away from temptation of eating more food,  to relax get rid of my headache.
         Watched a bit of Tv enjoyed a shot nap (something I never do).
         Any how that was our first Thanksgiving day feast with Suzie Family and tomorrow my family will be coming here to going us. Thanks to Ross and Roses' offer to have them come here. i will rest up tonight and ready for more fun and food tomorrow.
         Thanks for dropping by and hope you enjoyed your Sunday as well.

    1. Thanks Jeff,
      It was an amazing feast. I know the names of all the cousins, nieces and nephews, but not all the grands only see them about once a year.

  5. What a neat kitchen counter with the stove top built in. Perfect for entertaining. That was a lot of food and so many people. Time to take it easy and take care of yourself as needed. Sleep well tonight.

  7. Sounds like a wonderful celebration and you get to do it all over tomorrow. Time with family always special. I wondered how you were going to get by not being part of the cooking crew then I saw you did not totally miss out. Great picture of the backyard with the colors in the distance fall is such a beautiful time of year. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Suzie!

  10. Having such a spread of yummy food looking at you I can imagine that it would be very difficult to sample just a bit and not overload your plate. You did great, I think. Don't blame you for getting tired with so many people to socialize with. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Suzie.

  14. Suzie has a big family! Everything looks delicious wish it was possible to pass me a plate through the computer screen.

    You even made sausage puffs. Glad you were able to retreat to your home for peace, quiet, and a little nap.
