Happy Thanksgiving



 

Happy Thanksgiving friends and family!! Today was a great day starting at like 9am with me preparing the turkey, mac & cheese, and green bean casserole. I also made banana bread before I started all the food prep. The turkey was a bit of a challenge because it was smaller than I was use to and I didn't know how it was going to cook. Everyone arrived around 12pm and we started snacking on chips and dip & veggie trays, we also put out the pumpkin bread and banana bread for snacking. Dinner began to smell yummy and we had it all prepared and ready to eat at 345pm which was good because I said by 4pm. I am alittle disappointed in the turkey as it was a bit dryer than expected but I think that's cause I cooked it to long and we turned up the temp from 325 to 340 which I know doesn't sound like much but I think it made a difference. Once we all made our plates we sat at the table and it was Angela's idea to go around the table and say what we were thankful for, lets just say this became an emotional thankfulness as we all went around and said each things tears poured from each others face with happy and sad tears depending on what we were talking about. Dinner was amazing I think everyone tried to at least get seconds of some things. Later that night Chris came over and hung out with us as well as Jeff & Melody we ate desserts and hung out watching shows. By the end of the night I was very full and ready for bed but it was a great Thanksgiving again!! ♥
