22 lb memories

The Husband flipping the bird. This 22lb beast went into the smoker at 3am.

Flipping the turkey in the smoker

I highly recommend a smoked turkey, although it took 12 hours to cook.

My cute as pie Big Girl apron.

The table

The Husband’s grandmother’s table set with my grandmother’s dishes.

The Tall One and me. I’m 5′8″ - that should put it in perspective.

    I LOVE seeing your pictures. You are such a cutie. The tall one is really really tall. Wow! Looks like you had a warm, happy, delicious holiday.

    Okay, maybe he isn’t THAT tall, but close. I took a little artistic liberty for fun.

    Thanks for the well wishes. Hope you all had a great T-day.

    It looks like a happy, festive time with a warm house and warm family. I love how everyone made contributions to the meal. By the way, you are the cutest thing ever!

    So, do we get a recipe for the beans? Are those eggs in there???
    And, by the way, that is NOT your grandmother’s OR your mother’s apron. Too stylish.

    yum. I want to come to your house next year. We got yucky dry turkey with spinach as one of the side dishes.
