Just In Case

Just in case the 100 photos that I printed and the 100 cards I bought and the little messages I typed up don't make it to your mailbox before Christmas.

Just in case you don't get a Christmas card at all from us.
(Only because I do not have your address)

Just in case I can't do it all:)

Just in case....
Please know we wish you the very Merriest of Christmases and the
Happiest of New Years

P.S. I think that I have figured out the whole video thing. (at least I got them on the computer!) Be Prepared for some awesomeness coming your way.

Big Green Egg Turkey

Thanksgiving was at our house this year. It started out with the traditional turkey bowl, held in our yard. I think the only winner is the team that has the most fun. {How can you have a competitive football game with 6 to 10 year olds?} During the game the girls found a kitty that they carried around the yard the entire time. What a patient and good-natured animal to be so lovingly abused for such a long period of time. I'm wondering if that means that we have a cat now? It's name is Smokey, for what it's worth, and it's always trying to sneak into our house. I found it in the coat closet yesterday. P.S. I've since found out that it belongs to our neighbors who were away for Thanksgiving. It was fun while it lasted!Now, I'm sure the question burning in your minds is: What is a Big Green Egg Turkey?

Well, THIS is the Big Green Egg. It is a grill/smoker that will cook anything to perfection with a taste out of this world. Our favorite is salmon with asparagus. It can cook a mean steak too.

And THIS is the Big Green Egg Turkey.
Yes, it is for real. And it tasted just as good as it looks. We brined the turkey overnight and then in the morning we stuffed it with a mushroom stuffing (no, I do not like mushrooms, but we wanted to do it right) just under the skin. The recipe said that if the skin ripped you had to stitch it closed, so Nate took his stitching talent to the turkey, and voila! After 5 hours on the grill, we had a scrumptious turrkey.

This is Andrew. Need I say more?

I really like to take pictures. Pretty amatuerish, but fun nevertheless, especially when I have such darling subjects like my nieces and nephews. Here are a couple from our "session."

I really did start a post about our Thanksgiving, but got a little crazy busy. I'll try to finish that before Christmas:)
