A Hawaiian Thanksgiving

So this year is the first year EVER that we have not been with family for Thanksgiving-it was weird! We didn't have the traditional dinner either......we had 2 different kinds of shrimp (really good-one was ketchup and the other garlic) now these shrimp were NOT shelled so to eat them you had to take their shell off and that included their legs!! We also had chicken, hot dogs (regular and Hawaiian) and steak. That was the main dishes
 I was in charge of all the sides so I did Strawberry-orange spinach salad (a webster favorite) & rolls
 Sweet Kahuku corn on the cob (picked the day before), funeral potatoes and desserts. I didn't take a picture of the desserts so I did 2 cheesecakes-homemade, 2 coconut cream pies-again homemade and I bought a Ted's Bakery pumpkin cream pie. We also had homemade spring rolls (egg rolls) that our landlord (upstairs) makes. So yummy ;-)
 The steak was amazing-this could become a new tradition for us!!
 After dinner we went to our house, downstairs, and we rested and then we went back upstairs to play some games and eat more!
 It ended up just being our family and the family upstairs and they only have 2 kids so we had enough food to feed like 3 more families. All in all it was a great day, yummy food good company and family. 
We missed all of you that we couldn't be with this year and hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
