We cooked up a 21lb turkey and a 12lb roast as well as many other things.  I tried to make spicy mash potatoes and they were horrible. BUT… the rest of the food was outstanding.  We had Clint, Stacey, and Luke over, as well as Chris Brennan.  It was a huge feast and we still have left overs.

We even got a holiday video chat going with Aunty Lee Ann.  Ah, gotta love the Apple computer.

Madison’s new hobby is hunting down golf balls during our walk.  Sometimes she finds so many that she actually gives me one or two to hold onto.
