First Thanksgiving

Our first Thanksgiving, not only as a married couple, but also the first away from our families.  We decided that since we were stuck in Arizona on Thanksgiving, that we would prepare our own feast.  Being that there are only two of us, and one can only eat so much turkey, we decided to get a turkey breast instead of the whole bird.  Lauren (mostly) and I started making dishes the day before Thanksgiving, in preparation for what would be a wonderful meal.  The menu included Turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, stuffing, yams, cranberry sauce and two lovely desserts....obviously a rather large meal for the two of us.  Luckily we didn't indulge too much, and avoided what my lab professor, Dr. Smith, calls "Postprandiol Torpor," or the sleepiness you feel after a large meal.  We were also lucky enough to find a bottle of wine that was produced in Idaho...at the same winery we were married at!  Here are some pictures from our awesome Thanksgiving.  We love and miss all of our family members, and we wish we could have spent today with you all!
