We had another awesome Thanksgiving over here and hope you all did as well!  We're still recovering from a pumpkin pie and whipped cream food coma... I know, so very whole 30 of us, right?!  Every year we kick off the morning with the Thanksgiving day parade plus cinnamon rolls and bacon by the fire.  We also get the oven preheated for the turkey and all the fixins'.  Last year we deep fried our turkey, but this year I tried my hand at roasting it in the oven.  Our menu is pretty similar every year, the turkey, sweet potatoes, corn casserole, the best green beans ever, stuffing/dressing, and homemade rolls with cinnamon butter.  You can find a couple of these recipes at the end of this post.


I can remember being in school and getting off a whole week for Thanksgiving, but as of late- or maybe it's just Charlotte- we only get 3 days.  Which means you only have 1 day to prep for all things Thanksgiving and that's just not enough.  However, we took advantage of our one day for the more important things like cooking dinner for friends,  making a huge batch of my cinnamon butter, and drawing + decorating 538 hand-turkeys.



I cooked dinner Wednesday night for a Friendsgiving at our house and then helped with a few sides Thursday, for Thanksgiving at my sis-in-law's.  We went the whole day and never managed to get a picture of all three of us together.   Ehhh well.  Just means we were too busy getting "seconds", talking over each other, and bouncing off the walls with the cousins.




Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 
 Enjoy all those yummy turkey sandwiches this week!  

Sincerely,
