Oh turkey. I love you. My Mom tried something new this year and it was amazing! She roasted the turkey in a cheese cloth and for half the cook time she had bacon draped over the top. It was perfect. She made her traditional stuffing (my grandmother's recipe) along with sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and cranberries. My Dad made his wonderful slow cooked gravy and my sister baked some ADORABLE cupcakes with corn, mashed potatoes and turkey toppings along with a pumpkin pie. Between all that and the bottomless glass of champagne I am stuffed. Violet (poor girl) was teething so bad, that after chewing on her thumb for an hour fell fast asleep in her swing and slept all through dinner. Juliet had a hard time waiting for the turkey to cook and snacked the entire day. By the time dinner was ready all she had an appetite for was the bread; typical.
