gobble gobbled..

i am very thankful first off for a phone call from my dear lara 2 nights before thanksgiving..

lara- "so i have been cooking all day and am exhausted.."

me- (sipping on my glass of wine) "really? why? i am just going to cook it all thursday morning..it will be a cinch.."

lara- "are you crazy? you need to prep, saute, assemble and be ready BY thursday"

me- "ok."

so... this was wednesday..

4, yes 4 hours of prepping....

this was me..or ehh-hemm this was makena thursday...

basting the turkey..

everything was delicious if i do say so myself, and it went sooo smooth...

here is the only picture i took and it isn't everything but i meant the cooking part went smooth..

 the where do i sit and what do i do with the kids and where is my plate part..

not so smooth..

but we figured it out and we had a feast...

it was my first homemade thanksgiving with my amazing lovable crazy family..

 and i loved it..

all of it..
