Turkey

Well Thanksgiving has passed and the Christmas season has officially begun. The Thanksgiving break has been good so far. Josh and I stayed home and I made us a good meal for Thanksgiving. I made a whole turkey for the first time! It took us quite a while to figure out how to get out the neck and giblets, but the turkey turned out great for my first one! I also made some stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mac and cheese. Needless to say we had enough to feed a family of at least 6. But if you know me you know I love my leftovers! It is now day 3 of leftovers and we are still not sick of the turkey. :)

It was really hard being away from family for the first time ever on this holiday. It just really made it set in that I live on the other side of the country. Luckily we were able to move our Christmas flights around and I can fly in a little earlier than Josh to spend some time with family. I am very excited for the Christmas season!
