our philadelphia thanksgiving was absolutely perfect!! julie & ben & i cooked the day away while blakey actually had on time flights across the country. huge win for all. much success in cooking for all dishes planned. & we actually remember to serve each one {wink wink, mom :)} little malcolm maintained his adorable status all day. & one of ben's friends from work joined us for our meal. so many things for which to be thankful.
{a ruler is a necessary cooking tool. don't you think?}
while julie & i enjoyed a local pumpkin ale, we decided to jazz up the turkey & turkey with spiced whipped cream & sage. totally thanksgiving now! apparently it was disgusting. we'll stick with the turkey & turkey next year.
{well done, benny boo.}
our thanksgiving feast included a delicious turkey, my favorite greenbean casserole, blake's favorite mashed potatoes, julie's favorite mushroom gravy, & ben's favorite butter bread.

& dessert! it wouldn't be thanksgiving without our grandma's pecan pie with our crunchy pecan topping twist. we added my pumpkin cream cheese bars with a graham cracker crust & spiced whipped cream. yummmmmm.
for as long as i can remember, julie & i have gotten the turkey wishbone. so we had to continue tradition! please see the following photo montage:
