Thanksgiving 2007

This Thanksgiving was a little strange. Only because it was my first one without Tom in 6 years. We had a total of eight people over for dinner. It was a really good time. My roommate and I set the table really nicely. We had several comments on how nice it looked. We loved it.



This was the turkey that I made. In the picture it looks like only half of the turkey is cooked. I used a meat thermometer, and it said 180 degrees when I took the turkey out of the oven. It tasted really good. Very moist, not dry. I love oven bags. No basting.


We ended up having a ton of food. Man was it good though. We sent everyone away with plates of food. After we ate dinner, we went to the movie theater and watched the movie "Enchanted" It was really cute. Then we came home, ate pies (lemon meringue, apple pie, pumpkin pie, Brownie Pecan Pie) and called Tom on Skype. Tom actually got to talk to a bunch of other people besides just me. I'm sure that was a little enjoyable for him.


After pie and talking to Tom and playing a few games, the guys watched football in the living room while the girls piled on the brand new bed I bought and watched Grey's Anatomy. It was really fun.


All in all it turned out to be a great day. I just wish Tom was here with us. Only 25 more days until I get to see him. I can't wait.
