We had 15 people at Thanksgiving, including Madeleine, who had a little bit of turkey and a dinner roll with us.  Nancy made everything but the cranberry relish in a two day frenzy of cooking.  Everyone went home with leftovers.

The buffet table.  We had turkey, yams in marshmallows, rolls, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, banana nut bread, cranberry orange bread, pumpkin spice bread, and pumpkin pie.  The turkey in the middle of the table contained the gravy.  Madeleine is in her high chair in the background.

My brother David and Aunt Mary joined us for the festivities.  David drove up from China Lake in his Navy uniform.

My cousin Catherine, posing for the camera, was also among the fed.
