Our Thanksgiving

We did celebrate Thanksgiving this year, together with our friends Tere and Alfonso and their two boys. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures since we were busy visiting, playing, and eating, but here are a few pictures from our family's Thanksgiving celebration...

Tere and I preparing relish trays and mashed potatoes...

I have to say that this relish tray was a huge success!
The marinated mushrooms were excellent and I
wish I had made more!

Grandma Ople's apple pie...

Pumpkin pie, one of Miguel's favorites...

Crockpot stuffing...I got the recipe out of a magazine. The
stuffing has ingredients such as apples, pecans,
cranberries, portobello mushrooms...it was
super delicious and cooking it in the crockpot
left the oven for the turkey...

The turkey! This was the first time
I have baked a turkey on my own, so it was
quite a relief that it turned out great!
My mom says that you can't go wrong using
an oven bag...

Our friends brought over their Xbox 360 and
the kids enjoyed playing some different games...

We also played Apples to Apples Bible Edition and
had marble-game tournaments...

Miguel won both the Apples to Apples AND
the marble tournament!

Tere trying her hand...

Jkaile, of course, was not to be left out, either!

All in all, a great day!
