Ben woke me up at 7 am to start the Turkey. I guess someone woke up on the hungry side of the bed. I felt like I'd just fallen asleep an hour before he woke me up. Talk about tired....

Ben washed the Turkey while I got all the veggies washed and cut. We made a Rosemary Orange Turkey. Fresh Rosemary and freshly cut oranges... Oh what a difference ;P

Nana and Papa brought over their dogs for a playdate with Kallie. Nana also made brownies to start the morning off right. We took the dogs and kids for a long walk, and then played in the backyard while we finished up the cooking.

Dinner guests included Soccer Jim, Amy, Tyler, Nana, Papa and our five.... after our Turkey Feast we had a concert (rockband style) pumpkin pie.... and then after a nice nap (only Ben got one of those) We headed over to the in laws for some Pozole, cheesecake and cake. Yummie
