Thanksgiving Day with my side of the family

Yesterday we had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, brother, and my godparents. We all had a great time sitting around eating and chatting. We have so much to be thankful for. I truly enjoyed cooking my 1st thanksgiving dinner for my family. I have cooked thanksgiving dinner before but I have never cooked it for my family. Liliana hadn't taken a nap today, so by dinner time she was pretty cranky and didn't enjoy much of her dinner.We served turkey, sweet and sour meatballs, mashed potatoes,Candied Sweet potatoes,cranberry sauce, sausages stuffing, and sauteed green beans. For dessert we had Apple pie, pumpkin pie, fruit salad, sea foam Jello salad, and cheesecake. All of it was made from scratch, how I love to cook :)Everything was delicious, but I think we will have leftovers for about a week or more. After dinner Liliana managed to fit in a cat nap and when she woke up we all watched the Incredibles. This weekend we will be going to my brother in laws and having thanksgiving with Marco's side of the family.
