Our first family Thanksgiving!

 Look at our little turkey!  

We went on a pre-Thanksgiving stroll to grab some snacks and some holiday coffee treats. 
Our first family Thanksgiving was amazing.  An amazing 17 pound turkey and only one fire! Todd was the master chef of the day.  We took all of our recipes out of my Clean Eating magazine that I subscribe to so most everything we had was a low fat/calorie version of the normal dishes.  It was Todd's first time cooking Thanksgiving dinner and I can't believe how well it turned out!! My job was deviled eggs and dessert.  Well, unfortunately, the pumpkin cheesecake that I wanted to make called for a lot of ingredients we don't have including some expensive spices so instead of spending $40 on ingredients Todd decided to pick us up little individual pumpkin pies from the bakery. 



    

Taylor's Grammy Smith and Auntie Amy bought her the adorable Thanksgiving outfit and the hat that kept slipping up and looking like a wig was made by Grandma Dorothy. When worn right it looked adorable! 

                          

The fire came later in the evening when a wrong burner was turned on and the plate with turkey sitting on top of it caught fire! Thankfully the turkey was saved and the smoke alarm didn't go off.  Which was shocking since there were some pretty big flames! :o)
