and Im thankful for finding my camera cord

ok- i found the cord and realized there were a bunch of pictures on there that were post worthy so here goes.

Maddie and Tuck and I went for a walk last week to get a good look at the leaves before they dropped. I wanted to show all those New Englanders that we have pretty colored trees down here too (I wouldnt have thought so either). Here are a few pics I took with our new camera.

Okay-and here's our bird. He came out really well. Jim made a orange-herb rub and it was absolutely delicious. We'll have to save the recipe and make it again next year.

Maddie wants to dig in

All in all it was a good turkey day. This was the second year hosting thanksgiving at our house and it really wasn't so bad. We have it down pretty well and I think everything came out okay. Nothing was burned... and nothing was undercooked (although my 7-Up Salad was a little watery). I think when we do go to some one elses house it'll seem easy!

And here are Maddie and Jim just minutes after our company left.
