A Traditional Thanksgiving at Home

We celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving yesterday, using Grandma's china and silver. I discovered that I do not have eight matching napkin rings. How'd that happen? I bought the tablecloth and napkins at Target last weekend on one of my just-passing-through excursions and almost bought some beaded napkin rings but decided that was too much of an indulgence. Should've gone for it.

We had all the traditional foods--turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, broccoli salad, cranberry chutney--and the requisite ham, satisfying non-turkey-eaters Ben and Grandma. My sister and her family were all curious when I took pictures of my plate, but the boys quickly filled them in, with a bit of dramatic eye-rolling, on my blogging activities. In turn, I reminded them that I could just as easily post pictures of their eye-rolling faces and the conversation turned to which movie they last watched.
