We had an absolutely fabulous Thanksgiving this year.  First, our favorite football team (whoever is playing the Ducks) won.  Warren made his annual trek to have Thanksgiving with us.  He went with us to hang out with the Steljes family for a couple of days, eat way to much food, and just have a great time visiting with everyone.  When we got home, we decided that we really needed (NOT!!!) to cook another turkey so we could have some leftovers to make turkey soup.  Warren and I ran down to the Harris-Teeter to find the smallest turkey we could find.  We found one a little over twelve pounds.  Then we had the surprise of our life.

I wanted Kelly and Christian to cook the turkey on their own so they could know how to do it.  Not only did they do that, but they cooked mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and dessert.  They even made some great turkey gravy with the drippings from the turkey.  To top it off, Kelly did the vast bulk of the cleanup all by herself!  Wow.

Then yesterday, we all went to a potluck with Lester and Esther.  Again, there was WAY to much food.  We had curry chicken, stuffed jalapeños, ham, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.  What a great time for a potluck:  right after Thanksgiving.  Christian got to play with Hunter and Sterling and there were a bunch of other kids there, too.  We saw Warren off at the airport and then rolled ourselves in bed.
