It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Thanksgiving!

My big fat 19-pound turkey sits in golden splendor, fresh from the oven. He's the ultimate early bird. We made pumpkin biscuits this morning. Pumpkin whoopie pies are on tap for tomorrow. Dan's been bringing home gallons and gallons of apple cider. And turkey (with homemade noodles) soup and turkey sandwiches galore will be consumed over the next few days. But, on Thanksgiving, we're dining out. That's the reason for jumping the turkey-shooting gun and roasting up our fine feathered friend today. The holidays are within us - (we just sampled the turkey, and he is delicioso!)

Not only that, but we got our first email from Shane-of-the-MTC this afternoon too! He claims he's gained 8 pounds since last week, but I know there's no way that could be true. That scale just weighs heavier than ours. Remind me never, ever to weigh at the MTC! Everyone's scurrying around wildly here, gearing up for some full out fun! ... interspersed with a few naps. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
