Happy Thanksgiving. This is me trying out a new blog so we will see how this goes. So far not very obliging in letting me move my pictures around. Still it is allowing me to see them now before I post so thats a start.

We had a lovely day. Got up in the morning to start all the prep, and Scott did some clean up outside and put up some of the xmas lights on the outside of the house. He also helped with tying the turkey to the skewers for the rottisserie oven. I rotisseried the turkey, made the stuffing in the slow cooker, and the sweet potatoes got the oven to themselves. Mashed potoes a last minute thing, and i bought the pies...pumpkin and apple. My goal was an easy stress free thanksgiving and I achieved that.

Around noon we headed off to Sharis for Sangria and appetisers. Great company, great food and drinks, then home to complete the dinner for the Michels and Karen and Bill. So see below for photos

This half of the family never too keen on getting a photo taken, particularly while eating :-)

Yes that is a ham. I had only bought a 10lb turkey as thats the max for the rotisserie oven. Once we learned the Michels and Karen and Bill would be making it after all I ran out a got a sugar glazed ham to supplement.

Well going to sign off. More pics and postings soon of our trip up into the snow the day after Thanksgiving.

Love to all

Lucy xxxx
