Christmas Leftovers

It's 7:45 on my computer, which means that it's 9:45 where I'm at in Texas. After oodles of presents and twice as many calories, we're all cuddled up next to the fire watching Elf. A great end to a great day.

Just wanted to end my month-ish hiatus. Things have been slow around Esther, but it seems that new juices still aren't flowing. Been doing a lot of doing and haven't thought as much thinking. Perhaps the new year will bring in some new ponderings.

Merry Christmas :)

Thanksgiving Pictures!

Let's get this party started!!



Me with the turkey, prepped and ready to go in the oven.



The next step is to call EVERYONE we know to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving, which of course requires the wearing of my "hot stuff" apron. I know...you're a little bit jealous...



Now I chop onions for the cornbread dressing...
...said onions make me cry.



Saute onions and celery, crumble the cornbread, and the dressing is almost done. Time for...



THE TURKEY!!



Justine is obsessed with the turkey, so she poses in her classy sweater dress as if she was actually going to do the carving...



...but that's my job.



Justine is in charge of stealing pieces of turkey once I'm done.



And I sneak a deviled egg before we finish setting the table.

.........Eating ensues........

Justine is dramatically finished and we decide to put all the food away before we eat any more.



I dump the turkey's remains into the trash--gross!! (bet you never knew I could make that face...sexy...)



And now it's time for a nap. A four-hour nap.

............The end.........
