Thanksgiving

We had huge success cooking our first Thanksgiving dinner together. Since we were invited to Thanksgiving dinner by the family I babysit for, we went there on the 25th and had our dinner with Uncle Tom on the 26th. There was a lot of good eating and we filled Uncle Tom up very nicely. We cooked a full turkey with home made gravy, marshmallow and brown sugar sweet potatoes, honey glazed carrots, green bean casserole, and we had biscuits and jellied cranberry sauce. The egg nog I tried to create did not turn out and I was too put out to try to fix it, even though my Grandma told me I could have--I should have called! Eric cleaned and gutted and dressed the turkey, then we put it in a magic bag like my Grandma and mom advised, and we had the moistest, most delicious turkey ever cooked. Thanks mom and Grandma for all of your Thanksgiving tips! Here is a picture recap:
