Thanksgiving 2010 was wonderful. We never get the chance to spend a holiday with both mine and John's family, so it was great that we could all be together to celebrate this year. The feast we enjoyed was the definition of a joint effort--everyone did something and we ended up with one incredible menu:
Shrimp Cocktail
Turkey
Honeybaked Ham
Mashed Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Stuffing
Cheddar Biscuts
Green Bean Cassarole
Doctored Carrots
Corn
Polish Sausage & Sauerkraut
Hawaian Salad
Mac n Cheese
Mom & I were up at 6 am getting the bird ready for the oven.
Ron helped finish the gravy--I made him put an apron on to protect his clothes and, well, since I was already wearing my red one, there was only one other option! Ha!
He wears pink almost as well as John does :) And the gravy was awesome! Mom picked out a fantastic recipe, as usual.
Kitchen helpers!
Ron & Silvia
Britt & Josh--we were glad he stopped by :)
Mom & I with our girl--all ready to be carved.
We couldn't wait to give her the drumstick. She loved it!
My awesome and delicious plate of food.

The Zic's came over for dessert and brought 3 bottles of Mascato d'Asti--the were consumed quickly!
This profile of my belly is fantastic--yep, I'm enormous!

Johnny & Jessica. We're so proud of our Johnny Zic--graduating ND in the spring with a job waiting for him in Manhattan, yea!
Lola LOVED playing with Uncle Johnny.
Renee worked so hard making tons of cupcakes for today--as usual, they were out of this world. The flavors were carrot with cream cheese frosting and sweet potato with meringue frosting. Mom made an awesome Bailey's cheesecake and I made Williams-Sonoma pumpkin squares. Dessert was just as good as dinner!
