Tackling the Turkey

The good news is thanksgiving is drawing close which means two things good food and finally getting to see Ed's parents (aka my fur babies!!). Since thanksgiving is at my house this year I figured this means the "good food" falls on me, where's Grandma McMillin or Mema Sutton when you need 'em? So far I'm thinking being as though this will be the largest meal I've ever done on my own to date, I'm ordering a turkey. Go ahead and judge me but I figure two things, 1. I know I can handle all the sides hands down and 2. Earl's BBQ has a pretty yummy turkey. So here goes my game plan so far;

How could this not taste good?

Not up for discusion 

-Turkey (to be ordered)

-Macaroni and Cheese

-Stuffing/ Corn Bread Dressing?

-Yummy Rolls

-Sweet Potato pie?

-Au Gratin Potato Casserole 

Still up in the air

-Mash potatoes

-Green Beans

-Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

-Oven roasted Asparagus

Taking a Breath

Finally a chance to take a breath! Ed and I have been going a hundred miles an hour these last few weeks and I thought I'd update everyone of recent happenings. First off we've moved into our new house which still blows my mind every morning I wake up because it seemed like it was never actually going to happen. We've unpacked and gotten rid of 80% of the cardboard boxes, yet those last twenty percent are really giving me a run for my money! I hope to have some interior photos up soon although with our life being so crazy I'm still working on finding everything a place.

  

Since the move we had some of our favorites in town and words can not describe how much fun we had as well as how badly we needed to see some familiar faces. To be honest I can't remember the last time I laughed so far for so long. Old friends couldn't of come at a better time, while we can hardly wait till we get to see our families for the holidays. Oh and speaking of holidays, this will be our first thanksgiving dinner in our house which means I got to order the turkey!

  

For the visual readers, here's a few shots from the past week with our friends in town :)

 

At the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum 

with the End of the Trail by James Earle Fraser. 

It was for sale... did I mention christmas is coming up soon? Hint hint

And my excitement for all things amazing at the museum was muffled as I got in trouble for taking photographs. Annnnnnnd if the museum is reading this... sorry. haha

Oklahoma state capital with the Greene's! 

Kevin and I were behind the cameras for the record, haha.

We ate very well this weekend as the foodie in me is disappointed we didn't take more pictures at the restaurants. Everything at Cattlemen's was amazing and surprisingly well priced, can't wait to take Eddie's parents when they come for Thanksgiving!

and Kevin and Hayley trying "Lamb Fries" on the right.

Last but not least we made it to a Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game, 

we had quite an amazing night. 

Sorry if I got carried away with the exclamations, everything was kind of exciting. haha
