Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! We had a wonderfully relaxing day feasting, enjoying each other's company and remembering all we are thankful for!

| The Fam (minus Daddy holding the camera) |
It was just us this year, and we didn't have any company over like we've had the past few years. We really kicked back as in, stayed in our jammies all day. LOL.

| Yum! |
Since it was just us, I was really wanting to try out a few new recipes and techniques. I tried out brining our turkey with a Williams Sonoma kit... it was super yummy! I think I might start doing it every year. I was worried about the gravy turning out too salty from the drippings, but it was even better and so full of flavor.

| Instead of pumpkin pie, I made this beauty: Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake. Go big or go home! |
Little Man loved eating first, second and third Thanksgiving. His favorites were the turkey, stuffing and sweet potatoes, and of course, the pumpkin oreo cheesecake.
We enjoyed skyping with family later in the day, and had some nice visits with our family in California. It was Nonna's 60th birthday and we crashed her party via skype to sing to her and watch her open gifts. We are looking forward to Nonna and Grandpa's visit after Christmas!!
