Decorating. Thanksgiving. Travel.

That's the story of our lives these days. We cooked a huge feast for our family the night before Thanksgiving. I had my first taste of cooking a HUMONGUS meal and I enjoyed every minute of it. Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup "dressing". Homemade mashed potatoes. Deep Fried Turkey(s). Corn. Broccoli Cheese Casserole. Rolls. Cornbread. Brown Gravy. Chocolate Pie. Homemade Baked Apple Dessert with Vanilla Ice Cream & Caramel Sauce. = in the words of Rachael Ray...YUMM-O!!!
The next day we got up and traveled to visit Rhett's family in Dundee, MS (right outside of Tunica). Then that night we ate dinner with my mom and family. WOW, what a busy Thanksgiving we had! Poor Reese, he's still battling a cold/ sinus stuff. Then the next day we got up and drove to Fayetteville, AR to visit Rhett's family. We had a wonderful time visiting with family, shopping, and just hanging out. I'm just glad that our tree and Christmas decor is out and we don't have to mess with it when we get home (especially since I have the sinus stuff goin on now) yuck. I will be counting down the days :( until I have to go back to work. (tear) I am trying to look at the positive side, I only have to be there until May. 
I'll post pics from the holidays soon! (hopefully before Christmas) :)
