I started cooking at 7am on Wednesday. (I like to prepare as much as I can in advance and enjoy less stress.)
36 hours later, the last entrée was placed on the table and the guests dug in after the blessing on the food. ONE hour later we were done. We had a much smaller crowd that usual: 16 this year. Us, dad and mom, Eric and Tamra and kids, Sandy and the missionaries: Elder Jennerjohn and Elder Evans.
The ambush: 
The feasting:
After the meal, the missionaries left for their next meal appointment (second of three) and the Rossiter's took off to St George for Rachel's soccer tournament. Evan did most of the dishes (thanks honey!). Taylor left to spend the night and grandpa and grandmas while Evan, Kylee and I soaked in the House marathon while waiting for Uncle Darin's (formerly announced) pop-in.
We have enough left overs for at lease three more full meals for 10. I love Thanksgiving!
Hope you had a good thanksgiving! We sure do miss you when we are not there. We look forward to next year!
