Thanksgiving 2012

Happy Thanksgiving 2012!  It was a quiet Thanksgiving for us; we had no visitors nor did we go anywhere, so we decided to make the most of it and cook anyway.  We had a very traditional meal:  roasted turkey (that was brined), creamed peas, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, and pies for dessert.  It was a lot of work, but worth it.  We followed up our meal with a walk with Indy.  We lucked out and had a dry day, so it was perfect -- eat a large meal and then go for a long walk.  When we got back from the walk, Kristina had some homemade coconut cream pie and Jared had some homemade pumpkin pie.  The coconut cream pie was a new recipe and definitely a winner.

All in all, it was a good day!  Next up...Christmas!  Can you believe we are that close to the end of 2012?
