What a wonderful Thanksgiving Logan and I had in little ol' Rexburg! This season I continue to feel more and more grateful for all the blessings I have in my life. For those of you who have not heard the exciting rumors, WE ARE PREGNANT, and I could not be more excited to be a Mom and this baby will be so lucky to have Logan as a Dad. We are both so thankful for our families, our home, and the Gospel which fills me with strength and comfort!
Since we are planning on going home for Christmas we decided to save some money and make our own Thanksgiving celebration....This was the first thanksgiving where I made everything by myself and lets just say I took on the challenge!!
I wanted to prove that I don't throw up at everything so I prepared the Turkey on my own and even stuck butter inside the skin...kind of gross I know. BUT I DID IT!!!
Lucky for us the Turkey came out of the oven just in time and turned out AMAZING!!!
The beautiful meal, lets be honest the CranApple Martinelli's was DELICIOUS!!
Our meal was complete and now all we needed to do was pray that everything tasted as good as it looked, seriously, I was scared :)
I've never been a fan of the legs but my little "barbarian" couldn't wait to get his hands on it!
I really can't even explain my happiness at this point...#1 I was eating #2 It tasted good #3 I got to spend the whole day with my best friend! Life could seriously not be better!
I knew it was a successful Thanksgiving meal when I looked over to my Love and his stomach was protruding farther than mine, and it was almost too much work to keep his eyes open. What a great day!!!
Love it Ash! I'm glad your meal turned out a success. And holy hannah am I impressed that you did the whole thing yourself. What a woman!
