Thanksgiving Feast!!!

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We were so blessed to be able to cook the dinner for ourselves! Because of work schedules and being out of town so much for my brother Derek's wedding and our cruise, we decided to stay home this year. It was fabulous. It was not quite as good as my Dad's, but still, I thought we did so well!


Cassie was not okay with prepping the Turkey. She did it anyway!

Preston wouldn't go near it without Gloves.

"Urrr, I need a flashlight to see in this turkey, aaaa better get a respirator, don't want to breath in Turkey air."

I don't care what you say, frozen Turkeys are nasty!




Cassie made the most beautiful rolls!


I made a bunch of pie crust!

Doesn't it look wonderful?!?!?! It was our very first Thanksgiving and it was delish!







This is how Cassie and I felt after cooking all day with each other! Hahaha just kidding!

So YUMMY!

Even the dogs got a little taste!

We made Turkey, Candied Yams, Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, Stuffing, Homemade Rolls, Pomegranate Salad, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, We had corn and peas and green beans and even homemade pies and whipping cream from scratch! Everything was so good!
