After
We had the best Thanksgiving, it was one of the most memorable we have had in a long time! It started off with my Mom and Dad, brother Brad, and Tony going up to the Carver's house at 8am to get started on preparing the turkeys. We were having 4 turkeys, two fried turkeys, 1 smoked, and one oven baked! The total weight of all 4 turkeys equaled 56 pounds of turkey!

Lenna was in charge of the yummy oven turkey, it turned out great! We have had a lot of great leftovers thanks to her turkey : ) I love Thanksgiving leftovers.....they are the best!

I bought Tony a turkey fryer so that he could learn how to do one with my dad. Tony's fried turkey was voted one of the tastiest! Great job babe, I look forward to many more fried turkeys from you!


My dad, did one fried turkey and one smoked! Oh my gosh, the smoked turkey smelled so yummy! It smoked for about 7 hours and it was worth the wait. The fried turkey that my dad did was also amazing, I thought that I had died and gone to heaven.

It was so fun to have my family up at the Carver's, I had the best of both world's. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me and sacrifices so many things for our family, I am so thankful for a beautiful and healthy baby girl. She has brought me so much joy. I am so thankful for my families who are so giving and loving!
Thank you everyone who helped out with that amazing day, Tony and I really appreciated it!
