Graham's first Thanksgiving ended up being totally awesome. Katie's parents were in town for the weekend but not flying in until Thursday and my parents were in Baltimore...which meant we were hosting our first holiday (GULP). Yes, I cooked my first turkey. Nerves were high. Katie took care of the rest - so basically everything. And after a sleepless night on Weds (okay, that was on account of Graham not turkey-burning nightmares) we got down to it and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. The timing magically fell into place, the food tasted delicious...and the turkey was edible! Big thanks to my brother for talking me through it and educating me. And thanks to Dave and Wendy for some gentle hints and assists. Katie's grandmother joined us as well...Graham has been quite spoiled, meeting three of his great-grandparents already. On his first trip to Baltimore he will get to meet the other two that we are blessed enough to still have with us.
I wish I had pictures of all the food but a picture of the beautiful table that Katie set will have to do...
And what would a blog post be without pictures of the little stud:
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We are thankful for our family and friends and hope to see all of you soon.
He is such a stud!
