Thanksgiving was at our house this year. We had a really big group of 44 people. That's what happens when you come from a really big family and most of them live around here. 7 of my 10 siblings came with their children.
I gave out food assignments and everybody helped. I roasted two turkeys and made stuffing and gravy and a couple of pies, my mom made lots of rolls, my sister made salads and Southern cornbread stuffing.
There were also mashed potatoes, fruit salads, olives, drinks, vegetables, and more pies. It was tricky to figure out where to put everyone even with our large room. But it worked out and I'm glad I have the space to make it work. One thing I did which I will do again is I made place cards for all the kids under 18 so the adults could sit together more.
I forgot to take pictures until after the meal was over so this is the post-eating socializing.
