As usual, Thanksgiving at my sister's house was lots of fun! Both our family and Greg's family comes, so there is never a shortage of people or good food. But this year, the piece de resistance was the turkey. The 40 pound beast took 10 days to thaw (including some time in Amy's bathtub, because it was too big for the sink), filled her entire oven, tasted really yummy, and will provide several families with turkey leftovers for days! You may be wondering where we got this gigantic bird. My brother and his wife raised it in their yard for about 6 months. They had a picture of him at Thanksgiving and hopefully I will post it soon. He really was a beautiful bird!
