The Big Dinner: Thanksgiving

The big day finally arrived and Sarah and I were excited to start cooking!  We started the rainbow jello a couple of days early, so we just had everything else to cook.  So, first thing in the morning (as you can tell from our tired morning faces) we got to work on the bird...


Sarah's family always layers bacon on top, which is going to be one of my traditions from now on!  Yum!



Sarah did the honors of placing the bird in the oven



Crunch time: Sarah's mashing the potatoes, Parker's carving the turkey, and apparently I'm supervising?  Maybe trying to get a few tastes in?



The kids were ready to eat!  By the way, that Sierra Mist with the cranberry in it is outstanding, I would recommend that you give it a try if you haven't already!



Time to load up the plates!  Mike has his just about full, and Sarah is close behind.



Rainbow jello: A family tradition for as long as we can remember



Yep, just a plate of salad and some jello for me, thanks.  Yeah right!! That was just the beginning!



I believe this was round two for Parker?

All in all, it was a delicious meal with some of our favorite people.  Hope you had a great one, too!
