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.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
