Happy Thanksgiving!

The holiday's are here! There's nothing like having family around during Thanksgiving even if it was just the three... oh, I mean four of us! Both Abe & I had Thanksgiving off. So while I cooked away in the kitchen, Abe watched Izzy. We had the traditional feast.... turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy (still not as good as Grandpa's though) and green bean casserole. I decided to do a spin on the cranberries and made a cranberry cream cheese tart. The turkey was one of the better ones I've had because of a recipe that said to brine it. Even the white meat was so juicy that it was falling off the bones. Originally, we were planning on trying to go out on Black Friday for a new TV. But Izzy was sick the past few days staying up coughing. Plus the weather was not the best up here (cold rain) making us rethink our plans. So we settled for Black Friday internet-style and got a new computer.

Abe could hardly wait when he saw this.

My babies waiting to eat.

Even Clay waited patiently for his turkey by his bowl... not one single jump on the table.


Post-turkey Izzy. Notice how she's moved all her toys into one pile... that's talent!



Another tradition... putting up the Christmas tree & decorations the day after Thanksgiving.
