Billy's 1st Thanksgiving

This year the Bormans came up for the holiday and it made it so nice for Billy. He had a great first Thanksgiving! Hosting Thanksgiving for only the second time, and it was so fun to use our wedding China and stemware! 


It was a lot of work to host a party of 8 for a large dinner, but it was so fun! It was busy though so I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked. The prep was a week long thing including food and decorations, but that was really fun too!!



This year we got a turkey from the butcher to prep and smoke. It had great reviews so we did a Maple Burbon brine that seemed easy enough... However, this brining thing was a little harder than it seems- exhibit A:

Making whipped cream was a little loud! Haha :)
