On Thanksgiving Eve we prepped some of the items including cuernitos and pumpkin pie. I made the pie and my mother made the cuernitos. On Thanksgiving Day the first thing in the oven was the turkey that we chose to cook in one a bag. My mother made the deviled eggs while we prepped the table and the other dishes. After all these photos that I took of the prep and ingredients, we enjoyed a lovely meal, yet didn't take a photo of how the plate looked like. HAHA!
