Thanksgiving Recipe & Traditions

Over at Kelly's Korner Blog she is doing Show Us Your Life: Thanksgiving Recipes & Traditions

Well, I don't know if I really have any traditions besides the fact that I LOVE to cook! None of these are my recipes, but they are yummy ones! I do like to spend the Holiday with our extended family and usually participate in Black Friday shopping.
