Thanksgiving!

For Ariella's first Thanksgiving, I decided to go all out and make a full Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey and whole dinner came out amazing! I had one of those turkeys with the buttons that pop up once they're done. Ariella had turkey, green beans, and homemade cranberry sauce. She went to town with the turkey and green beans. She picked it up with her hands and put quite a bit in her mouth.

She made the funniest face with the cranberry. I guess it was too tart for her. I mixed it with apple sauce, but I guess without added sugar, it wasn't that great. But, I liked it well enough, so it didn't go to waste. She's really gotten the hang of eating with her hands. She ate a lot of turkey and green beans! It was very exciting.

I also made gravy, stuffing, scalloped potatoes, creamed spinach, canned cranberry sauce (for Tyree and his mom), and apple pie (pre-made, just had to bake it)! It was a full morning of cooking, but it was well worth it.
