Turkey 2009

Another year, another turkey, another time of gathering the family together. We usually spend Thanksgiving with Ryan's side of the family which is always a wonderful time, however this year we decided to host Thanksgiving at our house and invite my parents and sisters family over. I was a bit nervous to take on such a large dinner but everything came out burn free and the house remained in tact. Thank God my sister (Martha Stewart the II) helped with the preparations as she can prepare huge quantities of gourmet food with her eyes closed. I don't think I will ever be as industrious as her when it comes to the culinary arts but I can try to learn from the best.

Let's hope to have the entire family for Turkey 2010.... Just do not ask me to cook :)

The table was set and ready about 5 hours before the turkey was ready... I like to be prepared.

This picture just kills me. I love how Ryan is trying to act like he is kissing me, when in fact he is really just trying to watch the football game.

Another picture after I yell at Ryan for not paying attention to me.

Turkey is burn free... well, sort of. Time to eat!
