Thanksgiving at the Mauldin's

Today we had a "mini" Thanksgiving at our house for some friends that Jeff works with. We needed a good excuse to fry a turkey, and this seemed like the perfect one. So we fried up a turkey and a chicken and held Thanksgiving early this year. I would say it was a success. We had tons of wonderful food and great company. I was worried about the weather, as it would be hard to fry a turkey outside in the rain. But luckily, it rained very early this morning and by lunch time, the sun came out. We feasted on fried turkey, rice dressing, "druffing" (couldn't decide what to call it, stuffing or dressing, so we compromised), deviled eggs, homemade mac and cheese, green bean casserole, rolls and yummy desserts like cupcakes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, pumpkin/coconut/pecan pie, and dirt. Everything was awesome. Just wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful Sunday. Hopefully we can continue this every year and invite more people. Goodness knows we had plenty of food! Here a few pictures from the event.
