Thanksgiving has come and gone, but I have an entire turkey's worth of meat in my freezer! Why? Because Alexander invited a bunch of friends over, which was fine, and we expected to eat around 2 or 3. With the amount of teenage boys we had over, we went ahead and got 2 turkeys to deep fry. As the afternoon wore on, no one came over, at which point Alexander asked if we could eat later. So we fried both turkeys, and ate at 6. Well, the REST of the story was that his friends were having Thanksgiving with their folks, so by the time they got here, they weren't hungry. Hence the incredible amount of turkey I have leftover! I did get some awesome stock out of 2 turkey carcasses!
I began decorating for Christmas, have a long way to go. See, I collect Nativity sets, I have over 50 sets, and they must all be unpacked and set up. I can do it in a day if I spend the entire day on it. I didn't spend the entire day on it this time!
We're having our annual open house on Friday the 21st, so it will have to be done by then! I have 3 weeks of school left, yay! Again, the people in my class didn't take the quiz in time, so of course there was another extension. Did you ever think that you would get coddled in grad school? I didn't, and frankly, I'm disappointed.
So I think I'm done with all the big assignments, and it's all downhill from here! Just posting to the discussion board, and evaluating a research paper for research methods.
Well, maybe with Joanna's help, I'll figure out how to put up pictures of my Nativity sets! If I can figure out where I stashed the photos! I think they are on the backup hard drive in the safe, so I'll have to drag that out!
Have a great holiday season with the people you care about!

Wow, Corinne! That sounds like a lot of turkey! Looks like you're going to have to get a bit creative with the turkey recipes over the next few months. :) Or freeze it and save it for Christmas? I totally want to see your nativity collection! I bet they're beautiful. I have one really big set, but I'm almost afraid to put it out 'cause the boys might ruin it. Do you speak another language?
I wish we had some more turkey left over! We had a 14 lb turkey for 4 of us. We shared the leftovers and we had a couple sandwiches and it's all gone! Dinner was very yummy.
We haven't started decorating for Christmas yet but will need to get on that soon. Glenn likes to put up the tree on Thanksgiving weekend which I would like to do as well but the only problem is that it gets so dried out if it goes up that early. I keep trying to convince him to get a fake tree and we could have it up as long as we want. I like real trees too but it sure would be nice to not worry about the mess and about it getting so dry.
Yes, would love to see pictures! It's easy to post the pictures. Let me know if you need help but if I can figure it out, anyone can!!
