our own thanksgiving...

today was an awesome day here at home! even though it was just us four, we made it our own and spent precious time together creating our delicious thanksgiving dinner. we probably made enough to last us all week, but i was so excited this year at taking a spin at creating my first thanksgiving dinner. the turkey turned out juicy and wonderful -watched a few videos for some tips on foodnetwork.com -, the homemade mac and cheese tasted great, the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy, the dressing was perfect -which was also a first for me!- and the pumpkin gingerbread trifle was to dieeee for, thanks to good ol' paula deen! we were, and still, are STUFFED! even though we missed being around our families or some friends, we still had the best thanksgiving i think we've ever had. it was so memorable...us all cooking together and laughing. alayna had been so siked all week for the big day! it was just blessed. hope you all had just a great of a day with your families!
