Thanksgiving 2015

Did you all have a great Thanskgiving? I know I did!

Randy and I actually had a "first" in our 4 1/2 years of being married! We had Thanksgiving as just the two of us! Oh and Oscar! We had a huge snowstorm blow through and so we decided it would be for the best if we stayed home instead of going to visit family as planned. We ended up getting about 6 inches of snow! I love it!

Thanksgiving day was amazing! We got the turkey in the oven and got to work on the rest of the meal. I knew that the sweet potatoes were going to take a little longer so I got to work on peeling them. On the very first potato I was peeling I tried to slice the tip of my finger off! I started saying ow! and Randy came running to see what had happened.

My poor pinkie!

We got it bandaged up and Randy took over peeling while I sat down to hopefully get it to stop bleeding. I also think I went into a little bit of shock! So sitting down was probably the best idea. Oscar came and snuggled with me until I got up to help again.

We finished slicing the potatoes and put them on the stove to boil. Then we got to work on the green bean casserole. Once that was put together and cooking in the crock pot. We decided it was time for a break! So we went outside and Randy shoveled the sidewalk. While shoveling we played with Oscar! It was tons of fun! Oscar LOVES the snow! I'll see if I can put a video in for you! If not I apologize and you'll just have to imagine it ;)

Sorry if it's poor quality!

After we were thoroughly cold we went back inside and finished up the last of what needed prepped for dinner. Then we ate! Deliciousness that consisted of turkey (of course), stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, olives, and pumpkin pie! It was delicious and we get to eat it for the next week!!

My first turkey!

We just kind of relaxed for the rest of the day after that. Which was nice just to take a break from everything. We missed spending the day with family but it was nice just being with Randy and Oscar, my own little family :)

Just so you all know, my finger is fine! There was just a small bit of skin that I sliced off. Yes it still hurts but it's healing well. I believe it hurts because the nerve that is in your pinkie is actually the same nerve you hit when you hit your funny bone. Who knew right? Well besides those who actually need to know, like doctors and nurses and such.

Also do not fear! I will continue with our fertility journey on Thursday!

I hope that your Thanksgiving was as amazing as mine was and that you got what you wanted at the Black Friday sales! ;) Feel free to share any crazy stories from Thanksgiving that you may have!

Til next time!
