Thanksgiving 2021

Been chilly!

Thanksgiving day preparations - putting the turkeys into the brine.

Last day of school on Wednesday.  It's hard to keep them focused with this kitten.  LOL!

Made a lot of deviled eggs to enjoy!

Thanksgiving morning - I was up at 5am to prep my turkey.  Above.

Then Eric prepped his.

I don't know exactly what happened to my turkey.  But yeah, it nearly fell off the bones.  I haven't baked a turkey in years.  I guess I need more practice.  LOL!  It still tasted good and was very moist.

Eric's turkey had a much better presentation. LOL!  And was delicious as always.

Adam and Rachel hosted Thanksgiving meal at their home.  It was their family, ours, and two families from our church - the Beigles and the Cisneros.  19 total.

Rachel and Kylee made these cute desserts for the kids - Indian tepees.

And Pilgrim hats.
