Thanksgiving Installment 1

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This post was really Jason's idea, but since you might not read his blog, I thought you'd be interested in our Thanksgiving...which lasted 4 days! This blog covers Day 1 & 2.

We literally cooked ALL DAY (9am-10pm) on Thursday breaking only for dinner around 5pm and a game of Canasta around 8pm while the oven was full! We joked that we had lakes of corn pudding, mountains of stuffing, and a whole city of pumpkin in various stages of roasting, cooling, and mashing!
