We have had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We were off of work Wed., Thurs., and Fri. so we had plenty of R&R as well as a yummy turkey dinner with the fixins'!
This thanksgiving we were so thankful...to be with friends to celebrate, for the health of family and friends, to have each other and a little one on the way, for the food on the table and for all that God has blessed us with in our lives.
Dinner: Throw in a bunch of people who have never cooked a Thanksgiving dinner in their lives together and what do you get? A surprising mix of great food! We had two different turkeys--one traditionally cooked in a bag in the oven and one rotisseried on the VERY cool Ronco Showtime 4000! That one was spiked with buffalo wing sauce and was DELICIOUS! I made an apple pie and a banana creme pie (which Adam claims is as good as his mom's--good thing---they were from her recipes!) The stuffing had apples in it, which was new to us but scrumptious. We laughed about the cranberries, because someone brought them, yet not a single one of us likes them (10 people). In short, the food was plentiful, everyone pitched in by bringing something, and we had a great time. Afterwards, we played board games and then went for round two of food!
On Saturday, we had a garage sale with another couple in the neighborhood. It initally seemed like a weird idea, being Thanksgiving weekend and all, but they're moving to Phoenix next weekend so it had to get done today. Well, evidently people are in the mood for spending and savage shopping because we started at 8:00 am and were pretty much wiped out by 11:45. We took one small load to goodwill and came home to a wonderfully clean and EMPTY garage!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We missed you, but we'll have a great time during the X-mas season visiting!
