Alas this may be a little late, but all the same here we go. Jason and I had our own little Thanksgiving this year because he worked. We started off the day with going to the Turkey Trot which his family tradition. Emily, Jason, his brother Paul and their son Ammon all walked the Turkey Trot together. After that we came home Jason helped me put the Turkey in and he went to work. I played with Emily for a little bit after that, but than i decided I should start this whole Thanksgiving feast. So I started by making the jello salad and I thought of Aunt Lori the whole time. Next I made Grandma's rolls they did not turn out too bad at least Emily loved them, and than of course I made some mashed potatoes and gravy all of that went pretty well. however the most stressful part of the meal was my turkey I put it in the oven and set the timer for how long they told me it was going to take to cook, but my thermometer did not pop. 2 hours later it did, needless to say I am going to be a little more prepared next year. Jason got home for work we ate and than he headed over to his parents house for dessert, but I put Emily to bed. Overall good day, but I figure eventually my food will start tasting better, so my rolls will taste like Grandmas, and my salads will taste like Aunt Lori's and my Turkey will taste like my moms. Sorry I did not take any pictures of my feast I was just too tired of it was completed, but Enjoy the Pictures from the Turkey Trot
