Thanksgiving this year was such a wonderful experience,and I was so disappointed that I never made a post about it! So here it is, less than a week away from Christmas, and I'm still stuck on Thanksgiving.
This was mine and Adam's first Thanksgiving together. We flew out of Little Rock on Wednesday to spend the holiday with my great Aunt Kay and Uncle Greg. Their holiday dinner is always so special. Kay has had me make a different cranberry sauce each year. Y'all, this year's cranberry sauce was unlike any other. I think she heard about this recipe on NPR and found an article in the local paper as well. The recipe called for grated cranberries and onion, sour cream, horseradish, and a bit of sugar. No, you read that correctly. Horseradish and cranberries. Sounds strange, doesn't it? It was actually really good! And its color had a striking resemblance to Pepto Bismol.
On thanksgiving day, I had the honor of preparing the turkey. This was my first time, and I think it turned out rather well! Instead of getting up super early, we cranked the oven up to a high temperature and roasted the turkey a little over an hour-and-a-half. Yes, it was done all the way through, and it was soooo moist!
Adam was in charge of the greenbeans. Don't they look yummy?
The day after thanksgiving, while the rest of the world is doing their Black Friday shopping, we were packing the car with boxes of china and heading to the historic town of Rugby. Kay puts on this amazing tea every year as a fundraiser for the Rugby Historic Society. Adam and I got to help put on this grand event. We decorated a whole army of gingerbread men for the holiday tea!

I failed to take pictures of the actual tea event.....I guess I assumed I had enough pictures from previous years.

I have just now discovered the Blogger App for iPhone, so maybe I will be posting less sporadically now : )
Happy Holidays!
