Well, I’m finally getting around to writing about Thanksgiving!! This year Michael and I decided to host!! There is something about the holidays and big family gatherings that gets me really excited. We started out with a count of 16 people which quickly grew to 24 – the more the merrier!! Michael and I stayed up the night before making stuffing, preparing yams and potatoes, and baking pies. We also got the turkey ready by putting it in a yummy marinade that Michael made. We finally called it a night at 11:30pm and set our alarm for 6:30am, we wanted to make sure the turkey was done on time. My mom told me the key to making a good turkey is to have it done on time.
We got up at 6:30am and got the turkey stuffed and put it in the oven then we went back to bed. At 11:30 am our turkey was done!! And our guests weren’t expected to arrive until 2:00pm. We decided to let the Turkey rest and put it in the oven down stairs at 170 degrees. It turned out great!! It turned out really moist which is exactly what we were afraid would not happen.
After all our guests arrived the feast began! It was great to catch up with everyone. Annie spent the afternoon interviewing everyone on what they were grateful for or what their favorite part of Thanksgiving was(thank you Annie for your handy work with the video recorder!). The adults were unanimously grateful for FAMILY!! And the kids were unanimously grateful for TURKEY!!
It appears that the kids had a great time too!! Glad I was able to see it on video! The cousins played football and just had fun running around in general! Just the way it should be!
