Thanksgiving

We spent a few days in Edmond before Thanksgiving. We did some shopping, I had several photo sessions, and Jeremy took a test. Wednesday we headed back after my last photo shoot and I started cooking. We decided to invite Jeremy's parents and siblings to our house for Thanksgiving. It worked out nice because Jeremy had basketball practice Friday and Saturday....and well right now. I ran into a fellow blogger in Edmond and she requested pictures of my first time cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Since there were only 6, 7 if you count Cooper, we had a lot of stuff, but not everything....so here is our Thanksgiving in pictures!

Overall, except the turkey taking about 4.5 hours to cook instead of the 3.5-4 I planned on everything went smoothly. I did almost pull my oven out of the wall: I set my turkey on the open door when I was putting it in....that would not have been a funny story. Cooper even helped me make the dressing, just like I used to help mama jo tear the bread. (He's still talking about how he helped make it.) There was dessert too....chocolate and pumpkin pie. Of course, to top it all off I sent some Christmas Cookies and Chocolate Chip cookies home for everyone. I think everyone had a good time, and I was able to pull it all together since my mother-in-law didn't go to the gym and came here to entertain my kids! We had leftover turkey with sweet potatoes and zucchini casserole last night....no squash it was all gone at the store. So we got the full Thanksgiving experience and then some....and luckily we didn't have to resort to some restaurant because I burned everything!
