Birthday in Virginia!

Face Painting Fun

I went to my friend's birthday party and mama disguised me as a butterfly :)

Mama's first turkey day

This year we had a quiet Thanksgiving at home with just a couple of friends over. Mama decided to cook the turkey this year and make a whole feast... we all had our suspicions... (I had frozen pizza in the freezer just in case).

This was the probably-suspecting-turkey...

... the brine mixture ...... the unique marinating/brining method the night before ...


... washed and ready to get cookin' ...... some foil technique mama learned from the internet ...

... I helped peel the potatoes :)... the rest of the meal ...

... in the end, it turned out OK :) I guess I'll use that frozen pizza for another day.
The relieved cook!
