Paul and I love hosting Thanksgiving--this year was our 5th out here in PA!! We have perfected our turkey making over the years and have discovered not only the perfect market from which to purchase it, but also the best way to prepare it. We like to assemble a brine and soak the turkey for 48 or so hours. This makes it SOOO juicy and tender. Here we are, two days before the big day, preparing our turkey and the brine...
This is what we feasted on for Thanksgiving 2013. It was so yummy!!!
In addition to our usual, beloved turkey day guests--Mimi, Auntie Joey and Koa--we had an extra invitee at the table this year! My beautiful cousin Whitney, who is modeling in NYC now, took the train over to feast and hang with us. It was nice to have a little piece of Holden at the table with me for a change!
We served the kids sparkling cider in wine glasses. They called it "kids wine" and enjoyed toasting along with the grown-ups...
The day after thanksgiving we took the boys to an indoor trampoline center where they had fun bouncing and jumping into ball pits. Then, that night we went to Longwood Gardens to check out their famous Christmas display. It did not disappoint, and was a memorable way to get into the Christmas spirit!
We had dinner at the eatery there and all of the boys were arguing over who got to sit by Whitney. Poor thing had to sit at the kids' table because they were all mesmerized by her. It was super cute...
