Thanksgiving 2010

This years thanksgiving was awesome! We went up the weekend before Thanksgiving to my parents house and had the whole entire Grover family there except for Brandon, Zack and Aunt Joyce! It was so good to see everyone and the food was yummy! Then, on Thanksgiving day Nicole and I had to work the same shift so we decided to do thanksgiving meal at my house. .. It was my first thanksgiving ever making my own food all by myself. I learned how to make yams and pie crust which I have never done. This was the first year I ever bought a turkey and I bought a 22lb turkey not realizing how much meat it was. Anyway... needless to say we had tons of leftover turkey. 22lbs of turkey for 4 adults is too much just so you all know;) We also had spinach artichoke dip, rolls, yams, pumkin pie, turkey, potatoes and gravy and it was all yummy... well I think so but you can ask Tyrell and Nicole if you want the truth. Anyway it was fun to make everything on my own and it made me realize how grateful I am for my mothers, grandmothers, Aunts, sisterin laws and every women out there who has ever made me thanksgiving meal... its alot of work so thank you!



This is us chowing down on the meal... the kids loved it.

This is a picture of the whole meal. Thanks to Todd, we had beautiful plates to dine on. He bought me the sunflower plates for my birthday. I love them. I especially like Nicole's face in this picture.
