We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day filled with fun, food, family, and relaxing. I got up early to get the turkeys in the oven. While I totally enjoy preparing a full feast for my family, I do not enjoy getting up early. lol! Soon the house was filled with the tantalizing aroma of herb roasted turkey and all of the fixings.

All too soon, our tummies felt like they would…

I’d love to hear your plans for Thanksgiving this year. If you’ve posted a menu on your blog, please leave a link in the comments as I’d like to stop by and see it.
