Yum! We always have pecan pie, too. My in-laws think it's very strange, but my mom has always made them for Thanksgiving.
I like to reward my dog for not begging, too, but I can't let Tom see.
Mmmm...I'd like to have a slice of that apple pie right now!
I love how homey and comfortable your parties are!
I like to have a good variety so that everyone gets their favorites. The pumpkin dessert was something I am making for school on Thursday. Jill likes apple pie, the strawberry cake was for Trent, and the pecan pie was for Drew.
Oh, yes, we are definitely homey and comfortable around here. You would be hard-pressed to find any fanciness. I think the lavishly decorated tables I see on HGTV and in magazines are beautiful, no doubt, but those are things I enjoy looking at more than having at my house.
Your not Thanksgiving food looks wonderful! I like your Thanksgiving Mickey and Minnie, everything is so festive.
Thanks. I now have three different sets - one from Disney Store and two from WDW. I took the store ones to school to sit along Winnie-the-Pooh for the next few days. I didn't think it was fair for six of those guys to be partying it up at my house while Pooh hung out alone at school.
i have those salt and pepper shakers on my breakfast table right now!
the food looks yummy. sounds like you guys had a great time!
They're the perfect touch to a November table.
I had turkey on Sunday, so I ate some of the roast last night for supper. It was good!
Hellooooooooo! We just got back and we are soooooo pooped! And I survived my flights with no emotional meltdowns. I DO NOT LIKE FLYING AT ALL, but it was nice to be there in 1 hr. & 20 min.
We had the most fabulous time ever!! So many wonderful memories! The weather was heavenly........ no humidity or rain for 10 days and temps were around 75 everyday except one! We did lots of new stuff and loved it all. I'm already having withdrawals!!
I've read so many TRs already that now I can't remember if you guys have ever gone to Mickey's Backyard BBQ or not............... but if not, you should. It was the most wonderful experience. Granted, we went in Nov. and crowds were light. It may not be so magical with summer crowds and heat. But seeing my DD dance with those characters (and her Daddy......... he's a character in his own right though) was just precious. The Pirates and Pals fireworks cruise was also FANTASTIC! I just can't say enough about either of those events.
Anyway, can't wait to get back in the know on your TR!!! I'm off to read until my body and brain shut down on me!
About the withdrawals, I totally understand. Disney is an addiction.
We have not done the BBQ, but we do plan to. We were just waiting until the girls got a little older. I'm sure it will be hot in the summer, but I know it will be so much fun. I was thinking probably summer after this one - Brooklynn will be almost five and Bella will be old enough to dance a little herself! I'm glad to hear your good reviews of it.
Hi MeMom, Your Thanksgiving dinner looks so very delicious! I'm sure you are enjoying it again this evening.
Baylor and I made pizza, I do the dough and sauce then he adds the toppings. It will be good but not nearly as good as Thanksgiving leftovers.....
Yep. I had roast, potatoes, green beans, and apples. It was nice not to have to come home and cook. I bet your pizza was good, too. We'll probably be ready for pizza this weekend after all of this holiday food.
man that apple pie and pumpkin dessert look good!!
They were both good. One was a five dollar store bought pie, but it tastes wonderful!

What did you say?
Was it something ugly about my food?
Or maybe you were making fun of my turkey paper plates?
Mmmm, I Thanksgiving food! Which reminds me, I have to tell you because I know you would appreciate it, but today Connor started ranting about how no one pays any attention to Thanksgiving -- "people just go from Halloween to Christmas and poor Thanksgiving doesn't get any recognition" were his exact words, I believe. He was quite fired up about it.
Oh, and I like the look of that pumpkin dessert. How do you make it?
I'm with Connor. When you are looking at Halloween things in mid-October and there is already a Christmas aisle started, that's too early. I like the calmness of Thanksgiving. I like the opportunity it affords people to remember to stop and be grateful for all that they have.
And I like the Macy's parade.
We have pecan pie on Thanksgiving too!!
O.k., since you asked about Mexico, I'll tell you some of the high points. We drove south out of the city and around to the Caribbean Sea side of Cozumel and stopped at THE most remote and GORGEOUS beaches I have ever seen! We were able to see baby sea turtles who were being taken care of by a wildlife worker, taking care of the nests. The things we saw truly confirmed to me the wonders and beauty that God has created!!
We laughed a lot and celebrated The Day of the Dead and observed how the Mexicans think we trick-or-treat.
And then the rains came down and the floods came up! Our last two days there we saw no sunshine.
Thank you for letting me share a little of my experiences in Mexico MeMom!
The pictures are beautiful! The water is so pretty. I know that was a fun experience. I would love to see the sea turtles.
Tell us more about how the Mexicans think we trick-or-treat.
Feel free to share any more pictures as you look through them.
Yum!!! That food looks yummy!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing and I love the paper plates!!!!
You are welcome. If we ever have a big DIS meet 'not exactly Thanksgiving Day' dinner, I'll have to buy a few extra packs of my fine dinnerware.
Your Thanksgiving looks yummy and just the way I like to celebrate it! My appt is at 9:00 AM - I will be sure to post what we are having. My gut is telling me boy, but I will be happy either way, of course.
I would love to meet up at Opry Mills sometime. I tend to go a lot this time of year to do my Christmas browsing. My brother in law will be with us Dec 1st - 15th so I know we will be there between those dates. We always go see the lights at Opryland when he is here, then of course I make time for the Disney Store.
I thought boy with Trent all along, but back in those days, you didn't find out until they were born.
We'll try to work something out for a hippo meet then. Or maybe it should be a 'meet me at the Santa' meet, since it is a holiday.
Hi MeMom! I'm sorry I've fallen behind. I had a busy weekend, then B/F got sick and we had to stay back home for today and just made it back up to school. Promise to catch up..Just wanted to say I love that you share pics with us of what's going on in your life. Any holiday/birthday would be fun at your house.
Sorry he was sick. I hope he's all better, and I hope that you don't catch it!
Real life intrudes on our fun time. That's just the way it is. I hope to have some time next week to catch up on DIS time and maybe finish the summer TR, since I'll be out of school for three days.
