Thanksgiving....

If you click on the pictures, they get bigger... Then you can really see how BIG and HEAVY that turkey was, HA HA...

Here are the long awaited photos of my very first Thanksgiving turkey and meal... It was very exciting to make a turkey for the first time and my mom and Ben's mom can attest that I peeked at that turkey about 1000 times during the day (which is such a "no no" in the world of turkey making) BUT my turkey turned out perfect and so did all the "fixings"... I do have to give some "props" to my mother in law because she helped me "stuff" the bird. I was totally grossed out by the raw, inside cavity of a bird and just couldn't bring myself to do it... Maybe next time! The day after Thanksgiving we went to the "Christmas Tree Forest" and found the perfect little Christmas Tree... Ben chopped it down for us and we comment on its perfectness every day!
