Happy Turkey Day!

Because my husband works at Walmart, he got scheduled to work from 11-8pm today. LAME! Luckily, he was able to get Wednesday off so we could still have a Thanksgiving.

First we had to get all this:

Then we picked the best turkey:

(Like the brand? We did!)

Then we had to soak our turkey in the brine overnight. That makes it so juicy! We decided the best way to keep it cool would be to put it outside. This was what we came up with:

(Yes those are jingle bells...to alert us if any wild animals

 trying to attack our bird!)

The Henderson's decided to come up and visit us from Utah. We were so excited to spend our day with family.

Here's how our day went...

Dad learned how to play mario kart.

Our kitchen was boiling lava hot, so the rolls went a little cray cray.

My sweet husband helped me make yummy side dishes.

We upheld the Farmer family tradition of doing a

1000 piece Wasaki puzzle.

and then we ATE!!

After our turkey coma's wore off, we played lots of games,

ate pie, and then went bowling.

It was such a fun day!

The highlight of the day was my father-in-law randomly busting out with his own rap to the beat of Ice Ice Baby, and then doing this:

 Of course I couldn't let a Thanksgiving go by without saying 
how grateful I am for all of my blessings!
The number one thing I'm grateful for is this:

My sweet husband is always so patient and loving, even when I'm not.

He has helped me so much this semester with all my crazy projects, and I'm so lucky he works so hard to support our little family.

Love you Sweetheart!

Happy Turkey Day everyone!
