I got up really early this morning and started my baking at 4:45AM, then set out to make the turkey, set the table and make the sides. This was such a different Thanksgiving for us since it was only the 4 of us instead of 25-30.  It was nice to all sit at the table together, light the candles, and use the good dishes and stemware.  (Having the whole family together is nice too, but different.)  My brother and his family came by for dessert  and for a visit (Read: to see the dogs!) then I went to my sister-in-laws in the evening to pick names for Christmas.

It took awhile to get everything cleaned up then I made some soup stock which I froze for quick soup meals this winter. Right now, I’m finally relaxing in bed and will be rolling over soon. Hope you all had a great day and spent it in a way that makes you happy. :-)
