Thanksgiving in Portland

Since we're headed to Whistler, BC for Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to do an early Thanksgiving dinner at our place. We had quite the spread - turkey, 2 different stuffings, cheesy potato casserole, green bean casserole, fresh bread, a cranberry jello mix, yams, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie! Yummy! We were really thankful for being able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with all our friends (old and new) in Portland. This is the first year that we haven't gotten to spend Thanksgiving with our families...so it's nice to have a great group of friends here to celebrate Thanksgiving with.


Since we will be in Canada on Thanksgiving day, we won't be having turkey....but we definitely have enough turkey leftover to keep us satisfied until Christmas. Funny story actually - Brad and I were out buying a turkey but couldn't remember the pounds/person ratio. I told him it was 2 lbs/person...so we ended up with a 15.5 lbs turkey for 7 of us. I was way off. But I guess it can't hurt to have turkey saved up in the freezer right?

We are finally getting to put our wedding gifts to good use! Above is a picture of our dining table before we filled our plates full of food!


Everyone at the table before digging in. It was a great meal - and there was definitely some recipe exchanging going on afterwards.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Gobble Gobble!
