Happy Day After Thanksgiving!

This year it was just Andrew and I for Thanksginving and I cooked all of the fixings for us. A feast for two. I gave my folks a call to wish them a Happy Turkey day and my dad placed his cell phone on speaker phone. I talked to my cousin, brother, dad, and mom all at once, it was a little hard to hear everyone at the same time. I miss them all so much. They were all up at my aunt and uncles home having a feast. We tried calling his folks but left a voice mail, they were out and we didn't get a hold of them.
When I was in the kitchen cooking everything, our dog, Duke, was so curious with everything I was doing and if I would feed him any scraps. He was wagging his tail the whole time, Andrew had to keep him occupied in the living room for most of the time so that he wouldn't get under foot. It took me about an hour and 45 minutes to cook everything. The turkey was so easy, it was an all white meat "turkey" which came in a box with an orange glaze to drizzle over the turkey. It was so delicious. I also made my yams in little orange bowls and some cranberry sauce from scratch and mashed potatoes.

My specialty yams served in little orange bowls.I usually top the yams off with mini marshmallows, but I forgot to buy some. Our turkey from a box...turned out delicious.

I was dishing up our plates, and Duke was so patient and cute like he wanted some of our feast also. I grabbed a small plate to serve some turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes to give to Duke. (photo below) He was such a happy dog, and ate the whole plate.

This weekend I have off of work, which is a good time to get christmas decorations up everywhere in the house. I am so excited, having a home to decorate this year. I have a fire place mantle for the stockings, stair case for garland and a big corner to put up a tree. HomeDepot has a good selection on faux trees, ones that are already pre-lit. K-Mart always has a nice selection of ornaments and trim there, thanks to Martha S. so I might stop there too.

Happy Holidays everyone! Leave a comment on here letting me know how you are all doing and what your plans are for the season.
