Thanksgiving- turkey dinner

This was the first Thanksgiving in 10 years of our marriage that I cooked the whole (very traditional) Thanksgiving feast by myself, with the help of my family and friends, of course :))
We had a small but very fun group of friends over. Thanks, Kim and Eric for bringing delicious yams souffle and wild rice. And thanks, Zarochka and Nico for bringing the drinks.
To my great surprise, everything turned out pretty well, including the turkey. It actually wasn't dry at all!
After we stuffed ourselves, we spent some quality time downstairs playing Wii Fit and Sports.
Eric tried to break our records on Wii Fit but was only successful in breaking one of them! He promised to be back for some more challenge :) However, with me being the queen of Wii Fit it won't be an easy task for him :)





In the evening the Sullengers stopped by and guess what we did? Come on, take a wild guess??? Yeah, correct, we played Wii again.
Alex had a lot of fun visiting with his cousins.

The next day was Dave's birthday and we went out to Pei Wei for some casual dinner with the Sullengers and the other Gudgells. Then we all came to our house... Guess again what we did???
We ate pies! And yeah, of course, we played some more games downstairs, except this time it was rocking to the familiar music.
I thought Jeanette got pretty good at it. She looks like a Pro!
Happy Thanksgiving! And Happy Birthday Dave!!!

You know, I am pretty sure I commented on this post, but I cannot find my comment. Maybe I messed something up or you forgot to "approve me".

Did I post a comment or have I gone crazy?

I think you must've gone crazy :) I don't think you commented on it before! Thanks!
