Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2009
This year Roger and I decided to host Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Roger and Annie each made a turkey, Jeannie cooked the yummiest cream corn and stuffed mushrooms, and Mindy baked the most FABULOUS apple pie and pumpkin squares. I swear i must have eaten about half a dozen of the pumpkin squares since they were so yummy!
