Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

Brandon and I had a GREAT Thanksgiving!  We wish we could have made it home but we will be there soon!  We spent the day cooking, watching the Macy's Day Parade and the dog show - both of which made me miss NYC....Thanksgiving was always a really special time in the city :)  Even so, I was most thankful not be separated for another holiday and all the time Brandon and I have had together since graduating and getting out of the military!

We were stuffed FULL and had plenty of leftovers for the weekend - neither of us complained!

 

 

Caught Brandon bathing the bird.....

 

Stuffed, greased, and ready to roll!

 

How do you use this baster thing??

 

Nevermind, I'll do something else!

 

Hour 1

Brandon massages the bird for tenderness.....

 

And gives her a pedicure to look her best!

 

Brandon got it!

 

Hour 2

 

Hour 3

 

Let me try again!

 

Hour 4

All cooked!

 

Look at all the food!  YUM!

 

Just your everyday Paula Deen....

 

Brandon's ready to EAT, EAT, EAT!!!

But first.....

 

You have to carve the bird....

 

Pretty amazing for the first turkey, I'd say!

 

Eatin' time!  Even the Publix Pilgrims made an appearance :)

Hope you had a happy holiday!!!
