This Thanksgiving had to be one of the best yet. The company, quality time, and food were all excellent!!
Joe and I arrived at my Mom and David’s house early that morning. I was going to be cooking the turkey but wanted to do it all at her house. So, I needed time!
My mom and I cooked a delicious breakfast and the eating began!
After breakfast, I had to get the turkey in and cooking! This was my FIRST year making the turkey and I must say it was fabulous. I had used a herb and maple brine and the turkey soaked in these great flavors for almost 2 days. The flavors made the turkey so moist and gave it a great taste!
As the turkey cooked away, we all spent some time together! We played a fun game of Apples to Apples, worked on the GIANT crossword puzzle, played some chess, and watched some football!
I love a house filled with laughs, smiles, and happiness! That was how the house felt this Thanksgiving!
When the turkey was done we pulled out all the side dishes and dug in! The family ate outside and enjoyed the perfect Arizona weather. We enjoyed chatting at dinner… Mitch of course made silly remarks and we spent much of dinner laughing!
After dinner and dishes we headed back outside for some time by the firepit. The boys smoked a cigar and the ladies had some coffee. Mitch gave us a lesson on Twitter and how much he loves it, Joe and David tweeted, and I took pictures J
I could have not asked for a better day. I have so many things to be thankful for (as you saw in my earlier post) and I was so glad to spend the day with many of those people!
There was so much love in the house Thanksgiving Day and I am so happy we shared it together!
