It's Turkey Day!

My dad barbecuing turkey last year

Thursday at last. I have been looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner for a few months now. Especially since this was mine and Casey's very first Thanksgiving together. It was a great one, too. I was soooo excited to be with amazing people and just enjoy even more amazing food :) Once again, I was NOT disappointed. I really don't think Thanksgiving has ever let me down. I always eat until I can no longer move, and then I eat some more just for good measure. And when you have food that's as good as what I had tonight... it's super tough to EVER stop eating!! So of course, we have our traditional Thanksgiving feast like mashed potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and oven cooked turkey, filled with tons and tons of stuffing! The aroma fills the entire house, making everyone drool until 2pm. This year, like some years in the past, we also had the blessing of a good ol' barbecued turkey, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows my dad. Let me just tell you that barbecued turkey is awesome. Such an amazing and distinct smoky flavor...Oh man, I'm starting to crave it as I'm typing this!! We will be taking some left overs home with us, that's for sure! Only 365 days until our next Thanksgiving, can't wait :)


After everyone had left, my parents surprised us with our Christmas gift. We opened it tonight since we won't be back to Washington for a while. It was the perfect end to an awesome day.... They bought us a full sized leg lamp (comes up to my shoulders) for our front room window!! Haha now some may think this is a joke, but I take it very seriously. I have wanted a leg lamp for many, many years, and was debating whether or not to steal the one my parents own. No need for that now! The classic movie "A Christmas Story" is a huge deal in my family. I even made the pink bunny suit for my little brother for Christmas one year, and asked Santa for an ''Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!'' Yeah, we love that movie. So now if any of you want to see a real sight, just drive by our apartment in Utah! I have a feeling not many houses there put a sexy leg lamp in their front windows... That won't ever stop me :)
