Thanksgiving - College Style

Apartment 5C minus Trisha and Sydney. Kerry is so photogenic :)

Family dinner was supersized this Sunday, as we had our own mock Thanksgiving to get into the holiday spirit before the upcoming break.  Everyone contributed to our makeshift meal by preparing a dish that they traditionally eat with their own families every Thanksgiving.  We had bruschetta as an appetizer, then a broccoli casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and rotisserie chickens (because no one knew how to cook a turkey) as the main course.  I was in charge of dessert – apple pie sundaes!  We enjoyed these while watching an Elf marathon on TBS all night.

Here are some pictures of our night, and hopefully they will inspire you to get together with your housemates or friends more often for dinner.  Everyone has busy schedules during the week, so it’s really great to sit down to a nice meal all together, especially during the holiday season.  Find any occasion to celebrate and make a dinner party of it!
