Happy Thanksgiving 2012

The 5 of us had such a great Thanksgiving.  It started with the Thanksgiving Day parade while Steve and I took turns running.  Afterwards, my 3 little helpers helped me make pumpkin pie, stuffing and green bean casserole.  Next we gave our turkey a bath.  Luke loved this!  Last week he was talking in his sleep about turkey bones, no joke... so I knew he would love this part.  We made our TJ's brined turkey and he turned out perfect!  So juicy and flavorful!  I made Barefoot Contessa's gravy that was superb as well... can't go wrong with one of her recipes.  Steve and I drank our favorite bottle of wine, Des Voigne Montreux, Syrah.  We all talked about the many things that we were thankful for.  So blessed to have such amazing kids and husband!
