Happy Thanksgiving

James, Sheryl and baby have just left our flat and Brad is speaking with his family, so I thought this was a perfect time to blog. I woke up early this morning, had coffee with Brad (my favorite) and then began to set out the serving trays. I did still need to run a few errands (purchase candles, a baguette, tea, etc), set the table, clean the flat, plate the appetizers, make the sweet potato puree/gravy and get ready. Everything was moving along fantastic and the table turned out perfect:
The appetizers were tasty too: Cheese Tray, mixed nuts, dried fruit, crackers, veggies, eggplants dip and hot apple pie cider.

Here is Brad making the gravy, I cannot believe he did it in his work clothes:
