Cameryn with a y: Turkey Day!

We got to celebrate Thanksgiving in Omaha this year! Next year, I am sure we will be in St. Louis. We had a blast playing with Maggie and hanging with friends on thanksgiving. I was in charge of the turkey! My first ever turkey… I learned all the turkey terminology brining your turkey, stuffing the turkey, how the turkey should be turned or in an oven bag, removing the gizzard and neck and then using it to cook in your gravy. Of course you learn things too, the meat thermometer completely melted, Chris removing the turkey from the oven and making a huge grease mess, Maggie coming over and licking it all up. I also was in charge of the sweet potatoes, these are always my favorite the candied yams with marshmallows are always a delight. I also made rolls and a green salad…which, definitely was not eaten. It was a good sleepy night :)

Brooke and I got up early to run the coldest 5K in our life! Freezing our buns off, we made it and crossed the finish line to be welcomed with hot coco.

Chris got home early and surprised me by coming home at 2pm! We didn't think he would get home until 7pm and thinking we would start Thanksgiving then.

We taught Maggie to sit, shake, and lay down! I felt like such a proud parent :)

Chris and I also went to the famous Gingerbread house festival at Council Bluffs Tabernacle. My favorite was GiGi's Bakery Gingerbread House.

It was a good week! Now back to reality…:)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
