Happy Thanksgiving to You, Too!

Since this was my first Thanksgiving where I made the whole meal myself, I thought I'd document the process in a little more detail... And then, I forgot to take pictures! Oops! It was a great day, though. I managed to get enough done on Wednesday that Thursday was pretty easy (it probably helped that we ate at 6:30) - I even got to take a nap, feed Baby Siggid, and have lots of play time!

The pecan pie!
(No, we didn't start with dessert, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the pics to upload in the order I want them, and moving them around is so hard!)

Candied yams (surprise, there's rosemary inside!)

Did I mention I forgot to take pictures until afterward?

The remnants of the chicken...

Onion-rosemary gorgonzola rolls...so good! Thanks PW! :)

Wlnuts and brown sugar on brie

Baby Addie had to eat, too, you know

Spiced cider

Whipped cream

mmm...yummy!
not pictured: rosemary sweet-roasted acorn squash wedges,
roasted carrots and asparagus, and mom's classic stuffing

Not too bad, right?

we were there, too

and finally, the only turkey that made it to our feast :)
