AThanksginving all our own

This year was mine and Cody's very first Thanksgiving alone and we had a blast!


Cody had to work 5am - 11am and then he was ALL mine! While Cody was gone I made a table out of a plastic storage bin and the box our T.V. came in, and then covered it with our nicest table cloth.  He was suprised to see a table when he came home.

While I cooked the food we watched "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and  "A Christmas Carol". Some how while cooking I managed to keep the dishes done and kitchen clean which is weird because I can't even seem to do that on a normal day and I was making three times the mess! Go figure!

We really wished that we had someone to share all our food with . I made a HUGE turkey, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy (the potatoes were going bad so it turned out to be quite a lot), rolls, green bean casserole, and stuffing. And for just the two of us we had FOUR different pies. Two homemade chocolate silk (YUMMMY) one pumpkin, and one raspberry. 

After we had eaten we played some games and just hung out. We loved this day!
Ha ha just realized I didn't even mention Emma but that might be because she slept through pretty much everything!

My very first turkey. Cody called it the Slut Turkey because I forgot to tie the legs together! Ha ha ha I was laughing pretty hard. I also forgot to take the giblets out  but it still tasted good : )

This is our pretty table. The pictures don't do it justice. It looked really very nice. Usually we don't have Christmas up until the day after Thanksgiving but the Monday before Cody had lots of free time so we did it for Family Home Evening. That was pretty fun too.
