My First Thanksgiving Cooking Experience!

This year was my very first Thanksgiving Cooking Experience! Michael had to work all day, so I it was up to me to cook everything. Last year, Michael did most of the cooking. It's no secret that Michael is way better at cooking than I am! He also enjoys it much more than I do. I'm a little bit too OCD to enjoy cooking. I stress myself out and always end up making a huge mess! I started by marinating my turkey overnight with an injectable Cajun butter. We then covered the turkey in a dry rub and let it sit overnight. Colten and I woke up early, ate some french toast, and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! They always show great performances of Broadway's latest hits, so I always enjoy that! Colten loved watching the parade!
We decorated the house a little bit, which Colten loves to do! He loves to explore new things and he loves to help! He also LOOVES to help cook! He helped to put all of the french fried onions on the green bean casserole...he did a great job!
My Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, and Cheddar Garlic Mashed Potatoes turned out GREAT! I was so proud! Also, my very first experience with making dressing was a success!!!

I have some pictures to share with you today!
