This was my first year making a full-on, for-real Thanksgiving dinner. The prep has actually been fairly painless. I did wear rubber gloves when rinsing, drying and seasoning the turkey because raw meat totally grosses me out. Other than that, though, things have gone well.
Bode's preschool turkey project. He was adament about writing the words himself!
My brother, Drew, is here from Dallas and the boys are having a great time. Bode did ask repeatedly this morning, "Why do boys like Drew sleep so long??" I'm sure it felt like forever to him since he was up at 6. (In all fairness to Drew, he only slept til 8!).
Ever so helpful! Loves those rolls!
Our neighbors from across the street joined us so Bode and Keegs had some playmates. Dinner was delish. The turkey was just about right. The stuffing (my grandma's "recipe"--meaning it's very cryptic, "a dash of this, a little of that") turned out pretty well, too. Oh. And the grasshopper pie with my mom's fudge sauce was to die for. A nice day. Nice conversation. The boys had a blast. So i'll add that to my gratitude list.
Another addition to the list is that I ended up getting tomorrow off! Yea! So I get to spend time with Drew afterall!
Happy Thanksgiving!
