Thanksgiving! (Part 1)

I'm seriously slacking at the blog. Oh well, I'm sure you'll get over it. :)

So on Sunday evening my roommates and I decided to have our own little Thanksgiving dinner. We decided to invite over some neighbors (the Garage House boys) to pay them back for a breakfast they made us about a month and a half ago. Everyone contributed: Jessie made a big gigantic turkey, which was pretty impressive; Shandy (and Amanda) made mashed potatoes; Amanda made cheesecake and pumpkin chocolate chip bread; Laura made a super tasty broccoli salad and a green salad; Stormie made a fruit salad; Sloan made stuffing; Mallory brought drinks; the boys brought homemade rolls; and I made pasta salad, key lime pie, chocolate chip cookies, and (at the last minute) homemade gravy from scratch. It all tasted lovely.

I can't deny I was impressed with everyone's domesticity. Everyone claims they can't cook, but the food was way good; I was stuffed afterward. And we got to enjoy the leftovers the next day, which was arguably just as great as the dinner itself. Now I get to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family! I'm very excited.

Isn't my apron so cute?!
