we did it!

We did it!

We made Thankgiving dinner!

Drew and I had a wonderful day at home yesterday. I was a little nervous that being alone for the holiday this year might be sad or lonely, but it was actually really nice.

Since we were making a turkey breast it only took 3 hours to roast, so we were able to sleep in. Benefit #1! Drew and I spent a little time watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (which I really want to attend one day, by the way), then got started on the cooking.

Drew was in charge of making the stuffing and did a great job. We made it in the Crock-Pot since our oven couldn't handle the roasting pan plus anything extra. I highly recommend cooking stuffing this way -- it's so easy!

By 3:00 we were ready to eat!

The rest of the day was spent doing dishes, eating pie, and watching Star Trek from Netflix.

I'm so thankful for Drew and the wonderful holiday we were able to spend together as a couple.

Unfortunately, Drew is trying to save his vacation days for after the baby comes, so he headed off to work today. His parents are coming to visit us this weekend, so I'll be spending today at home getting ready.

Look what we woke up to....

1st snow of the season! This was very unexpected since it's been in the 50s every day (until last night, apparently). It's supposed to melt away today and be back in the 50s over the weekend, but for now it's a winter wonderland.

Welcome Christmas season!
