My feet still ache from Thanksgiving Day.

The day started early. My two little sisters and my nephew spent the night with us. I was surprised I was up so early because we were up until 3 in the morning watching The Notebook, yet again. I can watch that movie a million times and still be excited to watch it again.

The day before, I cleaned the turkey hardcore with salt and water. After the cleaning, I seasoned the turkey with seasoned salt and placed it back in the fridge.

Around 11am, my mother in law, sisters in law, nephews and niece by marriage came. My MIL brought her roaster oven to roast one of the turkeys, to take some of the stress away. Bless her heart! It was so much fun prepping together.

Sean works Thanksgiving Day (Boo to Target! I love Target except for the holidays). So, it was me running around with my head cut off. His mom brought a sense of peace though.

I made the seasoning for one of the turkeys about an hour and a half before my inlaws arrived. I did it the way my mom has always done it (with a bit of a remix because that's how I do) and my MIL did the other turkey the way she does it.

For those of you curious about how I did the turkey here goes. The seasoning I made consisted of:

Some water, 1 green pepper, 2 red peppers, garlic, parsley, basil, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper and rosemary. I chopped up the green peppers and placed them in the blender (a little at a time) and blended away. After everything was blended, I poured the seasoning on top of the turkey, of course spreading it everywhere. I put it back in the fridge for about an hour and a half. Before placing it in the oven, I did the foil tent method to ensure that the turkey was moist, moist, moist! And it was! So yummy and tasty.

The only thing that went didn't go as planned was that my mom, dad, older sister and her husband were late! The weather was horrible and it delayed them. By the time they arrived Sean's family had to leave. That definitely was NOT the plan, but at the end of the day, I was so thankful that I was able to spend time with both of our families.

We didn't have a fancy table scape nor did all the chairs match. The food was put out in the kitchen, buffet style, but it was perfect AND we got to use our china, haha! Everything was delicious and to date it was my most favorite Thanksgiving Day!

Here are some pictures:

{I made sure to have a bunch of food in the house throughout the day since dinner wasn't going to be eaten until 530pm. I baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, put out a turkey pepperoni, cheese and cracker platter and made pizza rolls with turkey pepperoni. I am all about turkey on Thanksgiving Day! It was my first time making pizza rolls and they came out fantastic}

{And my even more fabulous mom. I always have to take a picture with her when she is leaving. I get so sad.}


Even though I just finished cleaning up, I want to do this again next year. Hmmm, I think I might be going crazy! Sorry for the big recap but I never want to forget this day! Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving Day too! :)

**my mom was proud of me. she said that my turkey tasted almost as good as hers!**
