Just read all the posts about your Thanksgiving and no matter what- it was a success! YOu did it! you cooked your first turkey (even I haven't done that yet-leave that to my dad), you had great company and sounds like all the other food was wonderful too! So salud to you MM!
As for my family- we are no longer cruise ship virgins and just returned from our first one. On Thanksgiving day, the restaurants did serve turkey with all the fixingsj-BUT no mashed potatoes! No leftovers either.

Good to be home! laduque
p.s. Love it when you post pictures-they are great!
