My sister Ashley flew in from VA all the way out here to AZ to come visit, and my grandparents came into town as well (they're already in AZ, just a little drive to get here). They visited for a few days before and after Thanksgiving, so we got to spend lots of family time together. We went wine tasting once before, and once after Thanksgiving, which was fun (there isn't a lot to do around here anyway!) and we found a great white wine from Kief-Joshua Vineyards for Thanksgiving dinner....while Ashley oggled the one owner behind the counter, who reminded me of one of my brother's friends from HS. Anyway, sorry Ash, I think he's got a girlfriend. :-p Here's a picture of an American flag blowing in the wind right outside of Sonoita Vineyards and their picturesque view:
So Thanksgiving Day came around, and with 5 adults to feed, I had to come up with something that would be somewhat easy to make in the morning. I decided on a breakfast casserole recipe from my friend Katy in KS and always popular cinnamon rolls! (The breakfast casserole recipe will be in a separate post for easy searching later.) Here's a picture of breakfast!
Now time to stuff the turkey!! This was Chris's job, since we got a ginormous 26 pound bird this year! We had to put the roasting pan and rack in the sink in order to get it all in there without having a turkey wind up on the kitchen floor! Check out the wingspan on this thing!
And now for the finished product after many hours of cooking, along with our dining room table set up and all the deliciousness of the serving table:
And what Thanksgiving dinner wouldn't be complete without some dessert?? I had to yoink these pictures from my sister because apparently we didn't take any of the desserts. They were all so delicious!! :-)
And thus concluded our Thanksgiving Day...and I will leave you with a picture our puppy (small horse), Lane, snuggling on Ashley's lap (who you can't see lol).
