The last few years, Pammi and I hav usually gone camping after the big Turkey dinner with mom and her husband. This year, we were going to go camping just south of Charlotte and dash home Thursday morning and cook the meal for the 4 of us.
But my niece recently moved to Asheville from Maine, and wanted to spend Thanks with us. Not a problem!
However, my sister got to missing her daughter and my great niece got to missing her mom, so they gathered in Asheville last week to visit her. Pammi and I canceled our camping trip as we needed more time to get ready for the larger feast!
My sister, nephew, great niece and her boyfriend came down Wednesday afternoon and we went to a brewery for dinner.
They spent Wednesday and Thursday night with us.
Now, my mom knew that my niece was going to be here, but had no clue that my sister and everyone else was going to be here!
Here are some pics of that.
Like I said, best Thanksgiving EVER!
I normally will either split or spatchcock the turkey, but with 11 guests we needed a bigger bird! I only got 2 pics, one before I cooked it and one when it was done, and none of the full spread.
But we did have leftovers even when we sent some home with mom and some more with my niece.
The next day, we road tripped up to Asheville for lunch and some shoppin. This was the crew after lunch in downtown Asheville.
left to right, that’s me, my nephew Brandon, my sister Lisa, Pammi, great niece Mattaia, boyfriend Travis and niece Melani. Then another with Pammi and Mattaia
Everyone is safely back home now and mom was very happy and wonderfully surpraised!
