A little bit of Thanksgiving...

A little bit of Thanksgiving...

Since you and I didn't get to spend the holiday together, I figured you might enjoy seeing what some of ours entailed.

We ate first with our roommates and their families at our place, then headed to second dinner at my Dad's house.
 There we played a rousing 6-round, 30-ish question trivia game where I was the sassy moderator and everyone was trying to cheat.

There were lots of family members, friends, neighbors, and puppies hanging out and showin' each other some love.
And, you may recognize those two little ladies above from their YouTube debut. They were awesome, as always. 

My lovely Aunts and little (though way taller) sister even indulged me at picture time. But aren't they great looking?

It was my almost step-sisters birthday, and we celebrated with warm cider & rum. 
I made a tripe-layered fudgy chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache frosting and pecans. 
It was a hit! And it was finished by the end of the evening.

And I think Cecily liked it, too...even though we forgot to buy birthday candles.
It was a great holiday, and I'm stuck between the freakish amount of mashed potatoes I ate and the trivia game being my favorite parts. I hope yours was great too! What was the best dish on the table at your place?
