We started with a nice brisk walk around the lake. Sam’s first time!
She was bundled up nice and warm.
When we got home, we started the turkey brining. It was a lovely 9-pounder from Stone Barns. A Bourbon Red.
After Grammy and Leighlo left, we put the turkey in the oven:

And the sweet potato casserole I made a little at at time over a few days:
Supper in front of the TV:
Sam in her bassinet:
We are very thankful.
