Since we moved from Georgia to North Carolina in 2003, my boys have had a match on who could eat the most mashed potatoes and rolls!  Sometimes Tim, the oldest, wins.  Sometimes, Chandler, the youngest wins.  The match up is fun every year to watch.  The potato and roll war between Tim and Chandler has equaled out over the years.

The pictures below will show the mound of food they eat at Thanksgiving!

They love Mama’s cooking, that is fore sure!!!

 

Chandler does not like sweets and Tim ate his fair share and then some!!

Tim and Katie in a tie over eating sweet treats!

 

Homemade CHOCOLATE Meringue PIE!  and Chocolate Pecan PIE!

Other favorite past times with our family.

Katie, my daughter, hates TURKEY!!!

Katie, has never tried turkey, I might add.

She asked one time “is that a heart?”  I said no, “that is the breast bone.”

Of course, I have always shown the other children what giblets are.., the heart, lungs and the liver of a turkey.  Being a nurse, my children have all accepted this and all of them have been interested, except Katie

BUT!

Katie loves her mama’s macaroni and cheese, corn and mashed potatoes.

As well as all of  her mama’s chocolate pies!!

 

To sum our Thanksgiving up around the Baldwin household… Tim and Chandler can eat the same amount of Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, collards and rolls. While Tim and Katie can eat the same amount of chocolate desserts.
In our house there is never talk of leftovers.
Even though I make double the food for those present at our table.
Not even enough to make leftovers. Can you believe that!
All my children are winners when they eat all of mama’s cooking!
