Thanksgiving

I've been awful at updating this blog, but I'm going to start trying harder :) This Thanksgiving was a good one for our little family! Since Alax's parents are on their mission, and my parents are in Virginia, we did our own Thanksgiving just the three of us. It was kinda sad not having our family with us, but at the same time, it was really fun to do it ourselves too! And guess what? Everything turned out great!! I cooked my very first turkey!!! I was, and still am very proud :) It was absolutely disgusting to prepare, but turned out sooooo good. Although....I may or may not have called my dad like 20 times to ask him questions like: what the heck does the neck look like? Where do I find the neck? I may have sent him a picture OF the neck to make sure. Are you wondering if I'm always this needy?? Prettttty much....sad I know. But, other than cooking and eating, we had a really lazy day sitting around and enjoying Alax's day off with him.

After we Ate, Alax and Marlee sat on the couch and watched Gnomeo and Juliet, Marlee's new favorite movie.

I didn't get any pictures of any of our food beforehand, we all know what a cooked turkey, and all the fixings look like right? :) This is all of our leftover turkey. I got an 18 and a half pound turkey. We're all set for turkey sandwiches for about a year....

While I was cooking, Alax had to go to the store, and took Marlee with him. They came back with the groceries, and this lucky little girl had sweet talked daddy into getting her a balloon :) Every time we walk into a store, the very first thing she does is point out any balloon in her line of sight and whines talks about it until we leave. Every once in a while we give in though...

She has kept it by her side since. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!
