OK....I just typed 1-1/2 pages in word with details from Wed until about an hour ago....but I got some kind of an error and lost the whole thing!  Anyway.... my first time hosting Thanksgiving and making my very frist bird was a BIG HIT....
Also at this gathering we had joint birthday for Shane & I...his was on the 21st and mine is the 29th. Wanna see my new purse? 
Went out today at 9:30am and did Christmas shopping.....got home about 5:30pm. Since then....Shane & I have had left over turkey dinner and have put up our (fake) Christmas tree and have the whole place decorated! 
TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!!

1. The bird looks awesome!
2. YOU look awesome!
3. I love that picture with the purse... too cute!
4. I'm SO glad to hear someone else spent yesterday putting holiday decorations up. LOL! I think my mom thinks I'm nuts. I have my tree and our stockings up and half the decorations done... we still have to do the outside.
Anyway, glad to hear it went well!

Hi Shell!
Wow, looks like you made an amazing turkey! Made me long for a real Thansgiving - thank goodness it's almost Christmas!!
You do look amazing, and your purse is very cute. 
Makes me exciting for when I get to host my first Thanksgiving! Yay!

Shell, You truly amaze me all the time. Here your bird was perfect ....and oh boy did it look yummy...and then you did the entire decorating bit....
Cute, cute purse ...but the gal under it is even cuter, and I might add, getting thinner by the minute...
You did great...and see, it wasn't all that hard now was it...?

What a beautiful Turkey Shell, I know everything else came out perfectly and you enjoyed your company as much as they enjoyed being with you and Shane.
Love that purse, does that mean you spent all of your money Christmas shopping? OR, does it mean that it is brand new and you just can't wait to fill it up? I love new bags, can't have enough of them.
Happy Birthday to you and Shane!
I had about 30 people at our house, it was great, we fried 6,10lb turkeys, had two hams, and so many left overs that we ran out of dishes to put them in. I was to the point of wanting to throw it all away. Thats a sad thing. My sister and brother were finally together after months and months of estrangement. She was the 'big person', walked over and gave him a big hug and he huged her back, they said 'love you'. That is a major accomplishment for both of those who are too opinionated to give a little......hmmmm, I think that runs in the family. I may be opinionated, but I sure wont let it come between people I love, and people I care about. Anyway, my sil was very happy and thanked me for bringing them back together. Actually, I was working so hard trying to get this place in order that I never gave it a thought as to how they would react to each other. Just don't have time for pettiness.
Ihope to start hanging outside decorations tomorrow, I have 6 huge stars to hang over the windows in front. Also have about 6-7 boxes of those shrubery type lights. Forgot to buy the extension cords, will have to make a trip back in to town tomorrow or Monday.
Hey, you are looking so good. I am so proud of you, keepit up honey!!!

I am very sad that I didn't get an invite to your beautiful turkey feast! I will wait by the mailbox next year just in case the postman "misplaced" it this year.
Glad you had a great turkey day!
