Thanksgiving

Okay, so I did a really bad job of documenting Thanksgiving. It was extra special because it was our first time just staying home and doing our own thing. We had our friends the Peck's over, they have a little girl that is 10 months. She and Bridget have so much fun together! Josh also invited a co-worker that had plans, but fell through. Josh and I had this ongoing "debate" of how we should cook the turkey. I wanted to roast it in the over, but Josh always wanting to be different, he wanted to smoke it. He had actually been wanting to get a smoker for a while, so this was just another excuse to get one. I was very nervous that it wasn't going to taste good, but after all the stress and time spent outside, it turned out GREAT!! Our friends lived in Texas for a little while so they have had their share of smoked meat, and he said it was some of the best he has ever had! I wish I would have gotten a picture of Matt devouring his turkey leg, he loved it! Here is Josh rubbing the turkey with some spices

Cutting the bird!

Here is Bridget(a.k.a. bottomless pit) with some mashed potatoes on her nose! She LOVED Thanksgiving dinner, and of course dessert too! I made homemade apple crisp and vanilla ice cream.

Josh was holding Annalynn, so then Bridget wanted in on the action too.

We had a great Thanksgiving and can't wait to make more traditions!
