The morning after

All I can say (still,18 hours later) is UGH, and full! But I think our day(after many years of going elsewhere) went pretty well; although I should ask our guests?! We had pre-big meal h'ordervs of cheese & crackers, veggies & dip, shrimp cocktail and deviled eggs. We enjoyed the big meal even a little ahead of schedule, because Mr. Turkey was done earlier than we anticipated. This was good, after I spent Wednesday wondering (and freaking a little) if he would be thawed safely in time. Thankfully a friend talked me through it over the phone. Ok, so tragedy was diverted and the turkey was SUPER moist! David used what he called the "Liz" method (my mom) of stuffing the cavity with apples and celery. Worked like a charm. Although mom was unable to attend, we still had her famous homemade cranberry sauce, pumpkin and apple pies. Yummy! I know my girls thoughly enjoyed doting on their cousin Sydney, and playing with cousin Nathan. They are all just too cute!
