Busy day

I remember last Thanksgiving so well--our first big holiday with a baby, our first in our own home, and my first time cooking it all. To say I over-planned and over-cooked is an understatement! Although I didn't cook everything I had planned we had way more than enough of sides and desserts.

I really do enjoy the preparations that go into making a meal although it is often very stressful and that I don't enjoy. I paired down this year's menu in hopes of making it as close to stress-free as possible, we'll see how it goes.

Here are some pics from today as well as a few from last year at this time--I can't believe how fast it has gone.
