Cole hates the smell of turkey cooking (yes, he's strange) so I cooked the turkey in my roaster oven in the garage. I was worried that too much heat would escape, so I covered it over with foil before putting the lid on.

It cooked perfectly except that the skin on the breast didn't get browned. Next time I'll wait until an hour or so in before covering with foil.
Yum!

(I've been having a little trouble with my camera over the holiday...I finally figured out how I had altered the settings, but this picture was the best of what I had of our dinner...)
We let the cats have some turkey, which they LOVED!

It's our tradition to hang out at home as a family, play games, eat lots of junk food, and light fireworks at midnight.
The boys were dying to play the Jenga game Grandma and Grandpa gave us for Christmas...

The boys delighted in making the tower as unstable as possible. Talia, not so much...She put the last piece on before it fell...

And then my parents surprised us by dropping by with my niece and nephew. They had early plans, but decided to drop by on their way home. We were so glad they did!!!
The boys (Kyle, Parker, and Alec) were playing the playstation...

My parents stayed for about an hour. After that, the boys decided they wanted to play the Wii, and I didn't know if Talia was going to manage to stay awake until Midnight, but she made it...
