The Feast!

I love Thanksgiving weekend. Four days with the hubby home and relaxing! We are seeing Twilight tonight while my parents watch B. I am like a little teenage excited girl! Funny fact though, I have never read the books and D has read them twice. LOL, I call him a nerdy girl! And as much as I love shopping I do not go near the malls on Black Friday. Five minutes with that crowd of people and I'm pretty sure I would end up killing someone, I hate crowds! My mom did hit up the online deals for B today though. FYI for the moms, Caters online deals are the same as in store today 50% off everything.

Yesterday did not disappoint with the feast! We went to my parents and it was nice to have a small dinner with the five of us. We brine our turkey and it is super yummy. I ate a ton yesterday and took two naps, ha, yes two! The whole meal was gluten free, except the crescent rolls we made for the guys.


 Best place for a nap!



 I know many people toss out the bag of 'nasty stuff' inside the turkey but it's the best part! The neck is the best meat on the turkey!! 



 'Frida' our 20 lb turkey. Tons and tons of leftovers!

 Honey glazed brussel sprouts.

 Mushroom gravy.

 My grandmothers recipe for cranberry fruit salad. SOOOO yummy!

 Baked sweet potatos with Fluff. If you haven't tried this you must!

 B's spent!

Pumpkin cream cheese cake. AMAZING!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now onto Christmas. On the drive home last night we saw all the houses lit up already and B wore his xmas jammies. 30 days!

I usually love Black Friday shopping but this year the people were out of control. I'm not sure if I ever want to go again LOL!

What a yummy fest. I would have ate myself into coma. Glad you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I'm gearing up for Christmas too.
