This year was my first Pennsylvania Thanksgiving. It was a bit different since both my dad and brother weren't here. Felt odd not having them here, Jordan went to his friend's back in Keller and my dad was alone in Colorado sadly. But we made the most of it. My sister, Janine and brother-in-law, Stefano had breakfast with his brother Rey and his wife Hilary. Then we all got to work cooking the turkey and all the sides. In years past I have always tried to get the wishbone out of the turkey, but was never able to. Mostly because it was rather hard to get to. Luckily this year Stefano was up to the task! He was happy to dissect that bird for me. Unfortunately he was unable to find the wishbone, somehow it either broke or was thrown out. After dinner we lounged around and watched movies. Good times were had by all. :)

| Stefano's favorite- cranberry in a can. It's unsettling to me that once you open the can, the cranberry is basically like Jell-O and has the indentations from the lines of the can on it! He is the only one that eats it and it doesn't bother him. Though that's not shocking, he will eat anything. Literally. |

| Stefano, the master carver. And yes, that is the meat thermometer in his mouth. |

| Biscuits and stuffing in the oven, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes on the stove. |
