march 1st feast

On Thursday, March 1st, I roasted my first turkey!  I picked it up in November, when it was nearly free from a Thanksgiving sale, & have saved it in the freezer until now.  We invited our friends (the Gosses & Williamses) to a Spring Thanksgiving & they brought their favorite Thanksgiving sides to share.


Carving our first turkey!


The spread:
Stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, gravy, carrots & turkey!  Plus a pumpkin pie for dessert!  :)


Sweet photo of Alma & her dad, Jesse.


We used the china!  So fancy.  ;)


Group photo!  Finn & Cedar sat at the kid's table.  :P
Around the grown-up table: Kenton, Katrina, Jesse, Carolyn, Jacque & Stu


Jesse had a turkey leg to himself!


So did Stu!


Kenton prefers to his meat off the bone.  :P

It was so super tasty & the perfect amount of time between the actual holiday & our Spring feast!  Thanks for sharing in the food & festivity friends!  :)

*****

March has been full of crazy weather! I found these photos on my camera (taken by Kenton?) & thought the lighting was cool.  

I think my camera's white balance was set for indoor light, so it looks super blue here!


Different white balance setting, but I liked how this one looked too.  :)

Happy Spring!  Bring on the crazy, Oregon Spring weather!

That was such an awesome and delicious dinner! We should definitely make it a tradition to have Thanksgiving dinner not on Thanksgiving!
