Another Thanksgiving behind us. We really enjoyed the day. We slept in, which is a rare treat around here. We hadn’t been up too awful long when Matt called to say the turkey was ready. He got up at 4:30 to put it in, and it just waiting for us to come and devour it. I packed a box of things I knew I needed to take. The plan was Matt was to do the turkey, and April and I would do the rest. We got to Matt’s around 11:30, and I got the potatoes going. What’s Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes? Ethan also insisted I do Velvetta Macroni & Cheese, and David, of course, insisted I do my Apple Salad. Throw in a couple of pies, and I was good to go. When April & Jason got there, she finished up her stuffing. Add the pies and the rolls she brought, and we had more than an abundance of food. Matt did 2 turkeys. He baked on in the oven, and the smoked one of the grill.

We have deemed Matt the “head turkey” in our family. I was a little concerned that he hadn’t even bought them Wednesday morning. But, he did his homework, and they both turned mouth watering good. Moist. Not bad for a bachelor.

I took a smattering of pictures. I didn’t really take alot of “family” pictures. The boys’ dad had called Tuesday to find out what the boys would be doing for Thanksgiving, and I told him about my blog and the wedding pictures and such, which he said he would go take a look at (I know I emailed him this same information, but he said he never got it…). So, when I was taking pictures, I took them to kinda give Gil an idea of what Matt’s home was like. The different rooms, the outside, Matt’s truck. Matt’s dog.

All in all, though, it truly was a wonderful Thanksgiving and one I am thankful for.
