We put the 18-pound turkey into the oven around 11 a.m., expecting it to take 4-4-/12 hours. In the early afternoon, my parents, brother, grandma and Joan arrived to enjoy appetizers (courtesy of our moms) while the bird continued to roast. To our surprise, it finished cooking in less than four hours, so Corey and I quickly got to work on the gravy, potatoes (mashed red with boursin --- YUM!) and Brussel sprouts. Shortly thereafter, dinner was served, which included Joan's delicious take on green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls, and cranberry sauce. Even though we were all completely stuffed, we couldn't pass up the homemade pumpkin pie my grandma brought, which we topped with homemade whipped cream.
All in all, it was a great day with our wonderful family and we are so thankful for our entire family, for our friends, and for the mini Moran on the way.
