I might be new to this game..

... called Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to celebrate in style. In fact, I actually find it pretty remarkable how quickly I can adapt to traditions that involve lots and lots of food!
Some glimpses of what we did this weekend:

We started of by picking the strongest family member to bring in the turkey

Yes, she had to work a bit, but we believe in manual labor as part of a well rounded upbringing.

Then we did some serious cooking:

The same bad habit every year: Eating the uncooked stuffing right out of the bowl.

THE BIRD

All set and ready to eat

Somewhere in between roasting the turkey and preparing the sides, we even found time to try a new fudge recipe:

White chocolate peppermint
(taste=excellent, consistency needs some work)

But it wasn't all about food this weekend:

We also went to the zoo

Had fun at the park

Repainted our accent-wall in the bedroom (again)

Collected some gigantic pine cones


And, made a fall-inspired wreath for the door (not perfect, but hey, it was my first attempt)
