winner winner turkey dinner

Ahhh the idea of thanksgiving dinner sounds absolutely divine right now. In the three years past I have made the entire thanksgiving dinner by myself which I have absolutely loved. Brining my pampered turkey and making everything from scratch (thanks to pioneer woman). This year we are going to family's house which will be just as delicious and maybe a bit more relaxing.

Here's an idea of last year's thanksgiving feast in our teeny tiny apartment in Hawaii. The Rondos came out to stay with us and I don't think we could squeeze one more person into that little bitty space.
But that's what thanksgiving is all about, right? Being {closely} surrounded by family and being full of good food. Anyone else excited for their feast? Bring on the turkey, stuffing and sweet potatoes!

you are super woman! I have yet to prepare and cook a turkey...some day! And you make everything from scratch, right on :) This year will most definitely be a bit more relaxing for you then! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with your family!

and i know the wife of your brother-in-law (i think) Chase :) Rondo sounded familiar...so I clicked on the picture and recognized him! I haven't met him, but he's got to be great if he married Lisa :) And I love that everyone was in close quarters!! What a fun memory to have thanksgiving in hawaii :)
