With being so far from home I was worried that this Thanksgiving wouldn't be anything special. I bought all ingredients for the typical Thanksgiving foods. We then got invited to spend Thanksgiving with Dayne's boss. There was another couple there with a 2 yr old, a woman with 4 kids whose husband is deployed, and a single airman with no friends or family around. It was interesting and fun. We had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, spinach salad, a shrimp pasta, rolls, corn, pumpkin pie, and fudge. Then we played Taboo men vs. women. The men cheated. lol. It was pretty close though. It was really nice to be with other people on Thanksgiving.
Tonight we did our own Thanksgiving since I had already bought everything. We had turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberry sauce, potatoes, and cherry cheesecake. Everything turned out really well for my first Thanksgiving cooking, especially the turkey. Even without family around, Thanksgiving was still alot of fun this year.
Our Thanksgiving at home:
I'm so glad you decided to cook a turkey. Looks good!
