Thanksgiving Day at my parents' house just wouldn't be the same without Pie Dough Nummies, a little cinnamon-sugar concoction my grandmother made up decades ago to put leftover homemade pie dough to good use. Mom and I used an entire batch of pie dough just for these "leftover" treats. Mmm.
The meal was delicious. Brian and I contributed sweet potato maple puree, which we topped with pecans. Mom ruled in the kitchen, and Amanda's catering stint in college came in handy when it was time to set the table and arrange the buffet.
After the meal, the boys (including Dad and Kurtis, pictured here) caught up on the game ...
... until they fell asleep:
Ryan & Jen, who ate dinner at his dad's house, joined our group for a matinee of "Fred Claus" (funny movie, but nothing to write home about). Then it was back to Mom & Dad's for pie and poker:
Mom's cats, Libby & Lucy, were pretty social.
And, later in the day, Dakota and Lilly even were able to enjoy a special turkey dinner.
