Plus we're in a new house this year, figuring out new normals. We've had a lot of sickness during the past three weeks, so in general, I'm just a bit foggy brained. Ultimately, I'm struggling to remember that this is already November and what is that big thing happens in November? Oh yeah. THANKSGIVING.

 

The realtor that helped us get into our Castle stopped by Monday evening with a turkey. So cool, huh? That frozen bird kind of slapped me in the face and told me, girl, you have a feast to prepare!

 

Once I woke up to the fact that Thanksgiving is not far away, I started to get excited. Homemade rolls! Pies! Guests! Our whole family spending the day together!! Yep, 70 degrees yesterday or not, it's almost Thanksgiving.

 

Time for me to get organized. Here's how I do it every year and very likely how I'll do it this year. Justus will be smoking our turkey for the third year in a row. AMAZING. And now that I'm talking about it, I'm getting very excited for the day to happen. Is it too early to whip the cream??? :)
