Neighbor Logan (8) entertained us as his parents put the finishing touches on a lovely dinner. The things he could do to his face defy description. When I got out the camera, he posed with his pig face.
The party was perfect, almost halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Shawn baked a turkey with all the trimmings, and Bob was mashing the potatoes when we came in. Their house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The weather got in on the act, too. We arrived in rain and left with snow accumulating on the ground. In between, we talked about the neighborhood, Christmas movies, sales of homes, local bakeries, and other topics that brought many laughs.
For the foodies: We had turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, vegetable casserole, and homemade rolls. Yes, we were almost in a food coma before dessert. I brought a toasted coconut pie, like a Southern chess pie. Neighbor Connie brought a cake with white chocolate raspberry frosting. It was even better than the name sounds. It’s surprising we could walk away from the table unaided.
I took a photo of us at the table, which included Logan looking like the handsome boy he really is. Instead of that one, I’ll show you the one Logan took with my camera. He did a great job, didn’t he?

I was wondering why that pig was wearing a jumper. I’m left wondering how any if you could leave the table after eating that lot.I’d have rolled away. Young Logan made a very good job of that picture. He really is a talented little boy.

Logan was extremely well-behaved today when he and his parents were with us, keeping warm while the power was out.

Great company makes for good times. I love to hear about your adventures- food, friends, walks, and otherwise. I would have discussed politics, the climate, neighbors and perhaps more politics had we got together with neighbors. Logan is a pig faced cutie pie( more cute than pig). He is also a good host. Wish there were more pictures of the desserts.

Connie’s cake was lovely. My pie appeared to be bland, but one mouthful was a sugar bomb, enough to put your teeth on edge.

Sounds like a fun dinner! I heard that you are getting a whopper snow storm. Hope all works out. Stay safe.

We’ve had fun with this snow storm. It helps that the power came back before we ran out of propane.

We have a propane fireplace and it’s come in handy to keep us toasty when the power goes out.

We’ve enjoyed our fireplace. The one in NY burned wood, and John was the only one who cut and split logs. I supplied coffee.

We prefer propane. Getting too old for the wood thing. Even if we buy it, there is the storing, hauling and cleaning up. (while I drink the coffee! 🙂 )
