What is on your Thanksgiving table?
 
I was talking to a friend of mine tonight as I was getting all my pre-Thanksgiving stuff completed. We got onto the topic of what we usually have on our table, so now I am curious about what other families have on Thankgiving.

What food is served at your Thanksgiving feast? :)

In my family, we've always had..
Turkey
Green Beans
Peas
Corn
Mashed Potatoes
Yams
Cornbread Stuffing
Ambrosia
Heavenly Hash
Cranberry Sauce
Rolls

Sweet Potato Pie
Pecan Pie
Pumpkin Pie
