We ended up staying home for Thanksgiving. No one was in town so it was our first "official" Thanksgiving dinner together as a family. We bought a smoked turkey from the butcher by the white barn on Fairview and it was amazing. I made stuffing again, and it was good...or so Jordan says; sweet potatoes (aka brown sugar with potatoes mixed in). Jordan was in charge of mashed potatoes--wonderful--and the turkey. Cedrik didn't care for the turkey. He preferred pickles, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pickles, olives and pickles. We stuffed ourselves all weekend. A tip for your next Thanksgiving meal: buy more than one gravy packet because sometimes it doesn't thicken. We had water gravy. Also, instead of a pumpkin pie I made a chocolate truffle pie, Paula Deen recipe. It was amazing and we ate more than half of it on Thanksgiving.
Beatrice stayed with us for the week and got a bath and had her ears trimmed.
On Friday we decorated the house.
On Saturday, Jordan hung Christmas lights. I'll have to get a picture of them lit.
Cedrik and I played outside while he hung the lights.
