We had my family come over for Thanksgiving. It was very exciting to get to be the host for the first time. It was also very overwhelming. I was so worried that I would ruin something. My biggest worry was the turkey. I found some oven bags and planned to follow the directions on the bag. My mom had never heard of these bags. She always did her turkey with out the bag and would have to start it cooking really early in the morning for it to be done on time. But the according to the directions on the oven bag, the turkey only needs to be in the oven for 3 hours. My mom kept worrying that the turkey might not be ready, which made me extremely worried. This was the first time I have ever prepared turkey and I was extremely nervous that I would gum it up. Thankfully, the turkey was ready in time and it tasted wonderful. My mom was so impressed, she said that she would probably use an oven bag the next time she prepares a turkey. I feel like everything went really well. Our house is small, so we were a little squished, but nobody seemed to mind. I didn't take very many pictures because I was too busy being the host. It was quite stressful, but also fun and very rewarding. I think I really like to be the host. Here are the very few pictures that were taken. I took the video camera out and recorded for just a minute and that's were these pictures came from. This is our Thanksgiving video.
