Thanksgiving

I REALLY wanted to get into our house before Thanksgiving, so we could host it this year. It's really one of my favorite holidays. I love cooking and spending time with family :D. We hosted Thanksgiving when we lived in Raleigh a few years ago and my dad was able to come. We had Johns family and my family and it was amazing. It will always hold a special place in my heart- especially as it was my dad's last Thanksgiving. I am so glad we could all be together for it :D

Anyway, this Thanksgiving we were able to host again! In our new home :D my family couldnt come, but my in-laws did! John was in charge of the turkey and I made the sides. John parents also brought lots of food too. John did an AMAZING job on the turkey. It was one of the best turkey's I have ever had. His company gives their employees a turkey every year for Thanksgiving and ever since then, I've put him in charge of it. haha. This year he looked up a fantastic recipe and used it as a guideline. He will continue to always be in charge of it now! haha. He doesnt mind though, he likes helping.

We ate a HUGE meal and just spent time together. I maybe took a nap ;D. I was up late cooking the night before! haha. It was a great holiday and I look forward to hosting it- hopefully every year! :D

Seriously, look at this bird!! 

 Working his magic!

In our new diningroom!

 SO.MUCH.FOOD!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Martins!
