Our Belated Thanksgiving

Due to my nasty head cold, we delayed Thanksgiving Dinner until Sunday evening.  What fun we had !  I cooked up a storm, 4 hours cooking on Saturday evening and a full 8 hours of standing on my feet cooking on Sunday.  I loved every minute of it.  Not a mix or packaged food to be found.  What a joy it is to work lovingly for my family, preparing all the foods eaten on Thanksgiving in our family for generations.  Traditions are such a lovely way to connect family.  Once again I reminded the children that they are the 11th great grandchildren of one of the pilgrims, Francis Cooke, and when the little ones are a bit older, I will tell them, that they are the 12th great grandchildren of the very people that celebrated the first Thanksgiving !    We were not able to get a photo of Yen that turned out good, that sweet boy is in constant motion.
