Grandma Hillary and Grandpa Ricky arrived Tuesday afternoon and the festivities began early Wednesday when we all took a trip to the Birmingham library. Later that evening we went to Lita's for "Get Together Day" which Isaac has proclaimed to be a new holiday the night before Thanksgiving where we all.....get together. We had a very nice dinner and played for a while.
Then we decided to bring the Turkey home for preparation. Upon doing so we realized that the Turkey was much more frozen than we expected.....panic ensued. Cooler heads prevailed and we placed the Turkey in cold water and began the comical process of "expedited turkey thawing". For those unaware, this entails submerging the turkey in cold water for an hour and then changing the water every hour....until the turkey is thawed. This takes an hour for every 2lbs and we had an 18lb Turkey.
The next day was Thanksgiving everyone woke up early and continued thawing, begin grocery shopping and cooking....
Once again everything turned out great! .......even the sweet potatoes which unintentionally had fruit flavored marshmallows this year!! We are not yet sure if this will remain a tradition like the cinnamon on the turkey.....only time will tell.
Friday, of course we went shopping.
Saturday we went to the Southfield Kids Library and then Saturday night Grandma Hillary, Grandpa Ricky, Miriam and I took Isaac to his first movie in a theatre, Madagascar 2.
Here is a video compilation of the weekend.

It was a GREAT Thanksgiving! The TURKEY was DELICIOUS as well as everything else. Hopefully, next year Aunt Stacey, Uncle Josh and Gabriel will be able to be there too.
