Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving was a blast this year.  Even though we were not able to travel home to visit family, Krista, Jonny and I had a wonderful time and made a feast worthy of a large family.  Thanksgiving Day, I got up at 6:40 in order to put our turkey into a crockpot at 7.  It barely fit in the crockpot, so we wrapped it in foil to keep the moisture in.  Then Jonny, Krista and I cooked until we ate at 4.  We made funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, homemade potato rolls, corn, mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing, gravy, along with a store bought pumpkin pie for dessert.  Everything turned out wonderful!!

The wishbone was a little flimsy and bendable ... took awhile for it to finally break!

Later that week, Jonny and I went to feed the ducks the crusts of the bread that we used for our stuffing.  These ducks are not shy at all!!  My favorite place to put the bread was right on Jonny's shoe. It definitely kept us laughing.  It was a great end to the week before classes pick up again and before we know it, it is finals week.  It is always crazy how fast the semester goes, I am so glad that I got to spend it with Jonny though.
