Thanksgiving 2008

Here are few pictures of our Thanksgiving. I was sick that day, but still managed to pull out a killer turkey with all the sides and fixings. Stephanie and her family, a couple of their friends came over to celebrate the day with us. Rebeca also came by and helped me out with a few things. We smoked one turkey and I cooked the other in the oven. I made homemade mashed potatoes (or as we call them heart attack potatoes), green bean casserole, stuffing, and mom's English pea salad.

I hope everyone had a good holiday and enjoyed some shopping the day after (I know I did!). I'm back to work this next week after having a couple days off. I can't believe that December is already here and another Christmas and New Years are right around the corner. I miss everyone around the holidays and having to drive to each others houses for potluck dinners and presents.

Connor had fun playing on the rides.
