December 24, 2009: Let the Cook Off Begin

Got the turkey all dressed up and in the oven. This one is pretty big it’s a little over 20 pounds.  It will be more than enough.  I wish I could have found one more in the 18 pound range since Using the recipe I do You have to flip the turkey over after an hour.

This will be a quite Christmas in some respects since neither Tim or Paul will be able to be in town.  They will be missed, but with all the festivities it will still be crazy.

Taking a few minutes, the turkey is almost done and I made some cranberry relish.  I don’t know if anybody else will like the relish, but I do.

Britt tried the Wii. She has been working on getting into tip top shape. She is going to run a half marathon in March and wanted to see if the Wii could be a good addition to her general exercise and running routine.  I think she enjoyed.

Tim was able to get the video conference running from Reno so everybody was able to see everybody.  Caleal was real cute.  He seemed to be almost mesmerized by the computer video.

Still kind of quite without either Tim or Paul here.

Charlie Shower (Linda’s Dad) decided he didn’t want to intrude when we started to open presents so he went and sat in the other room.  They told me to go in and tell Carlie to get in here with the rest of us. I went and gave him a hard time and told him to get in the other room with everyone else.  It was all in good fun. Linda thought the whole thing was really funny because no one “talked to her Dad” the way I did. Her Dad took it well, maybe a little surprised.

Sidney got Judy and me each a Christmas tree ornament.  Two more for the collection.

We were beat when everyone left.
