The countdown to T-Day

Okay, so I have never had a Thanksgiving dinner at my own house. I have helped my mom and by helped I don't by any means claim I know that much about it.  My mom always does the brunt of the work and I simply help.  This was a big undertaking for me.  It was a bit stressful but I was doing pretty good, that was until Emry got sick.  She couldn't sleep unless I was holding her in the recliner which then meant I couldn't sleep.  This made my usually calm and cool personality(Totally exaggerating , a bit erratic.  I became a bit more stressed out than i normally would have been due to lack of sleep.  Thank you to Jeron for not leaving me during this time.  I do apologize for that.  

 Here is Emry so sick and I felt so sorry for her.  

I got all the tables set the day before Thanksgiving because this was a bit part about what I was excited about.  

I loved the kids table.  

I had a bit of a break when Ellie's friend called and said they were headed to the library.  JJ and Emma jumped on board and took all of the kids to the library for story time.  

Of course JJ was up to his usual antics and here is the bubble that became a drama because he couldn't get it off of his glasses.

This was my first bird and we had already brined it.  Now it was time to get friendly with it and stuff the heck out of it.

Can I just tell you how nervous I was that I might ruin it.  Turns out it isn't that big of a deal.  

The bird was done.  It is in the oven and cooking.  We can't turn back now.  Game on baby.  Wish me luck tomorrow.
