Happy Thanksgiving!

We decided to fry a turkey this year for Thanksgiving. We had to buy a new turkey fryer so Daddy put it together and this was the result when he lit the burner.

I guess that there were some plastic pieces that he forgot to take off and plastic and an open flame don't mix. That's what you see burning in the picture. I went ahead and found the phone number for the base fire department, just in case. We invited a guy that Daddy works with to join us for Thanksgiving. He lives in the barracks so he helped Daddy cook the turkey while Kaden played on his swing set, and I cooked the side dishes.










After the fire incident I was a little worried about the turkey, but in the end the turkey turned out great! After all these guys are supposed to be the "best of the best." Surely they can cook a turkey, right? : )

The turkey looks great. We've never fried one before, but I hear they're awesome that way. Hugs!
