Our Turkey day was a pretty low key day. We cooked and had our dinner here and Grandma Zoe came over for a while to enjoy the evening with us. All in all it was a wonderful day and Shaun cooked a great dinner, with a little help from me too.

Shaun woke up early to start the turkey and wow… it was quite the process. Not because it was a large turkey or because it was a complicated recipe. Shaun chronicled the entire process through Facebook. It was one sexy turkey, as Shaun put it. Usually the smells of all of the food cooking on Thanksgiving get me hungry and super excited for dinner, but this year was a little bit different. Morning sickness and extreme food aversions made the smells a tad unbearable, but in the end I was able to eat a bit and enjoy some of it. Pregnancy certainly can do a number on your favorite holiday foods!

All in all it was a wonderful day and there were plenty of laughs to be had. Abby enjoyed her first real Thanksgiving dinner. She seemed to enjoy her mashed potatoes the most!

That is one yummy looking turkey if you ask me!

Shaun enjoying the aromas of a perfectly cooked turkey. He is a bit of a goof! Can you tell?

Our Thanksgiving table. It certainly wasn’t fancy but it was full of lots of yummy food!

Abby is enjoying her mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing. I think Daddy is helping her out a bit and Abby doesn’t appear to be thrilled about taking the picture. Ah family!
