  • Thanksgiving 2015

    If there’s one thing that hubby and I have come to love to do, it’s preparing a Thanksgiving turkey. Obviously if we go somewhere, that’s great too, but when we get the opportunity, we jump on it. This year was one of those years. So a couple weeks before Thanksgiving we made out our menu,…
