So here is how our Thanksgiving went:
Tom decided what an awesome idea it would be to brine the bird. So we did. And when you brine a bird you turn the oven up to 500 degrees and the bird cooks for 30min to get it started. Wellllll, it was 8 am and the smoke detectors start going off. Yeah. That was from our house. This building is so old that the detectors are EVERYWHERE. In every room, hallway, stairwell...and they are loud. Think school building fire alarm. Needless to say, we met all of our lovely neighbors downstairs in their pjs that morning. I am pretty sure this just gives them more reason to hate us besides the fact that my kids stomp everywhere when they walk. At least the firemen were friendly:)
BUT the bird turned out absolutely delicious so it was all worth it. We had some wonderful friends join us for dinner and we were very grateful for their company! God has been so good to us and we definitely don't need a holiday to remember that.
