Turkey and Dancing

Pepsi gives their employees a free turkey every Thanksgiving. We usually give it to a family member to use, but this year we kept it and said that we would have a big turkey feast some cold weekend. Well, that weekend was this past and we successfully cooked our first turkey in the Charlton household! It was delicious. You would have thought it really was Thanksgiving. We had it all, homemade mashed potatoes, green bean casserolle, stuffing, dressing, rolls, and dessert! We were stuffed and even Seth who has been a very picky eater, ate like a champ! I was so happy!After dinner the ladies plus Roland cleaned and picked up the kitchen while the Grandpa's played with Seth. As you can see in the above pic, we have one of those undermount cabinent iPod players so everytime we are in the kitchen we have it on. Right now my iPod is in it so it can play anythng from Red Hot Chili Peppers to Bob Marley to Toby Keith so you never know what song is on next. We were all dancing along with the music until the song Spirit in the Sky came on and we really broke out in dance.

We also got it on video, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the video onto this site. So if anyone can help and would like to see us singing, please help a girl out! So the evening was totally fun and laid back and my son is finally my son again. The demon ear monster has left the building, please cross your fingers that he doesn't return this season again. 4 is quite enough!

Today is the first day of vaca and we are laying low, relatively. Seth is napping right now and after lunch we are going to take a drive to Erin and Jason's new house and see the progress. They are so close to being done and we are sooooooooooooooo excited for them. After that we have to stop at Kmart and then it will be another nap and dinner. We might be looking at a house tonight too, we found an awesome one for sale by our house. Only about 2 blocks away. It might be too small though, but it is still fun to look.
