Thanksgiving dinner has been held in our household for a few years now, however, this is the first year that Todd and I actually cooked the Turkey ourselves.
Usually, my parents are here and they do most of the work. Okay, maybe they do all of the work. This year, Thanksgiving timing didn't work out so that my parents could be here. They sold their house in NC and are moving to OH and had too much stuff going on to make a trip up right at that time. Although we aren't much help to them when they are here for Thanksgiving, at least they know we must have been paying some attention to what they have been doing in years past, because this year we pulled off the entire dinner all by ourselves AND we did it well.
There may not have been homemade turkey gravy, but there was homemade stuffing and mashed potatoes. The turkey was cooked in time, and was a pretty good one if I do say so myself. The entire family got here on time and we were sitting down at the table eating by 5:15pm. A Thanksgiving miracle!
This year was the first year Reagan could actually enjoy the food at Thanksgiving. She liked the broccoli and cheese, the corn, and the roll best of all. The turkey was her least favorite with the stuffing a close second. She didn't touch the mashed potatoes.
