\"\"<\/a> We’re back after a few days off for the holiday! \u00a0As you can see, our Thanksgiving tends to be pretty laid back.<\/p>\n

Sweats or jammies are the dress-code and a MUST. \u00a0If you show up in anything other than elastic waist pants, you’ll be turned away at the door until you are properly outfitted.<\/p>\n

We did some new things this year for Thanksgiving as we adjusted to our new space. \u00a0My overall approach, simple and stress-free, stayed the same though.<\/p>\n

Normally I run on Thanksgiving morning but this year I decided not to. \u00a0I did get up early and start things moving along.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did not go all out with decorations because the thought of unpacking another box was very unappealing. \u00a0I managed to pull out a few things to make the table a little festive though.<\/p>\n

I also bought some super cute owl clips from World Market<\/a> (not an affiliate link) and clipped those to the garland on the table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The turkey turned out beautifully! And no, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. \u00a0I broke the turkey into quarters and roasted it that way this year. \u00a0I did things a little differently with the turkey, which I’ll talk about in another post.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We always have wine with Thanksgiving dinner and keep things simple with a nice Pinot Grigio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For dinner, we had stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey (clearly), and collard greens. \u00a0Along with some amazing gravy to go with everything!<\/p>\n

We hung out, ate some great food, and gamed our little hearts out. \u00a0Perfect holiday!<\/p>\n

Our Thanksgiving definitely had a theme to it this year which can be summed up in one word: Lard.<\/p>\n

Oh yes. \u00a0But we’ll chat about that later.<\/p>\n
