It's Thanksgiving morning. Last year this time I was in Mammoth Lakes and son, Tim was getting ready to barbecue the turkey and it was snowing.
This year I am in Carlsbad and he is at the grill but this time the sun is out. I have remade the cranberry sauce from a new recipe out of Elle Decor magazine (Daniel's Dish). It was made with juniper berries and had a beautiful color and flavor
Family came including Pat ad Tom (Linda's mom and step-father), Keith and Linda with their 3 children, Tim and Dave.
Pat brought the mashed potatoes and green beans. I made gravy from a mix- Sur la tables Truffle gravy seasoning mix which was easy and excellent.
Cindy, my niece from Alabama sent flowers 
I had made Pumpkin Pie the day before and also a Cranberry Tart with a Cream-cheese filling. 
Tim made Burnt Sugar Cupcakes- a famillyrecipe of my mothers. we were all thankful to be together and enjoy family traditions.
