Dave and I drove up to Logan Wednesday afternoon so we could spend part of Thanksgiving with Kelsy, she had to work at 5pm, so we planned on having an early thanksgiving meal with her beforehand. After we got to Logan on Wednesday, Dave and I stopped by Walmart to say hello to Kelsy and to do all the food shopping. We decided on getting a turkey breast, instead of a full turkey and since Kelsy was working, the only place to defrost it was our hotel room sink!
We had a great time with Kelsy, cooking and hanging out. Kelsy Made the stuffing with extra celery and onions, it turned out great!
Dave did the mashed potatoes and carved the delicious turkey.
Kelsy also made each of us our own sweet potato, they cooked for the same amount of time as the turkey (2 1/2 hours) so the were super soft and super good!
Our thanksgiving feast consisted of Hawaiian rolls, stuffing, mashed potatoes, caned cranberry, sweet potatoes, salad, gravy and of course turkey. Kelsy hadn't had turkey since last Thanksgiving, one bite in and she was exclaiming how good it was! Even though she really enjoyed it, she did have it sparingly :)
We also had a pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert! Dave had a super small piece , he had already eaten too much and we still had another Thanksgiving dinner to eat later that day, so he was trying to save room.
After celebrating with Kelsy, Dave and I drove the 2 hours back down to Utah County. We picked up my good friend Alisa, who was joining us and then headed to my Dad's house for Thanksgiving #2. The food was great and we had a nice time with everyone. I was lucky enough to work off most of the food because I spent most of my time before and after dinner outside with my younger brother David putting up the last of the Christmas lights. We finished hanging them just in time for pie!
Dave and I were so blessed to be able to spend Thanksgiving with so much of our Family, in Logan and in Pleasant Grove. We had a busy and full day but it was wonderful to be with everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving!
