Bird, Bird, Bird, Bird is the Word

Happy Turkey Day everyone! And Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubby! We had a nice Thanksgiving here in the Fox household. We slept in, then I made Justin's carrot cake, then we got the rest of our fixins going. Justin got the turkey and green beans ready, I made up the stuffing and garlic mashed potatoes. When all that was done, Justin made the gravy and I whipped up a cream cheese frosting for the cake. We sipped on some wine and sat down to our fantastic dinner. Here are some pics of our day:

Justin did a great job on the gravy, it was delicious! Everything turned out well, we were proud of ourselves. The carrot cake was intense, very dense. Justin liked it a lot; I thought it could have been a little lighter, but not bad for my first attempt! The cream cheese frosting was awesome. Overall we had a good day and I think Justin had a good birthday. This evening I gave him his present, a new black 16 gb IPod. I think he was happy.
