We were excited to host our first Thanksgiving meal at our house this year. My parents, brother, and grandmother made the trip over for the holiday weekend. The highlight of the day was, of course, our annual fried turkey. This year Phillip got his very own turkey fryer, so we will be turkey-prepared every year from now on. And, we’re looking forward to using the setup for a shrimp boil this summer! 
We had quite the spread with all of our standard Thanksgiving favorites – dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, fruit salad, and rolls.

Watson really enjoyed all the extra people and new food smells in the house.
We even used our wedding china, flatware, and crystal (finally) for the big meal.
We certainly had a lot to be thankful for this year!
