Thanksgiving 2013

On Saturday, Johanna and I hosted Thanksgiving. After weeks of planning and organization, the day finally came for all 22 of us to come together for the feast.

Prepping the night before at Johanna and Anton's place...




We made three pies!







Pumpkin pie made from a pumpkin that I roasted and pureed myself



Getting ready to eat hunted wild boar from Johanna's parents cooked pulled pork style




Getting ready the morning of at 8am...




Aila wants to help too!



Before the roasting began!



Anton taking it easy before the craziness began



Anders was the most intense potato masher I have ever seen





The feast!




We had two 10lb turkeys, amazing homemade gravy, vegetarian gravy, two versions of sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, fresh rolls, cranberry sauce, stuffing, brussels sprouts with pomegranates, lingonberry sauce, a vegetarian alternative, a broccoli side dish, and apple pies, pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, and a pineapple tart. 99% of everything was homemade and absolutely delicious.



Mine and Alex's first time carving turkey. Not bad!



Me and Min







The damage
