Thanksgiving

We had an awesome Thanksgiving. My mom came up and spent the week, so she had some great time with Eliana and was able to help me out during my crazy conferences on Monday and Tuesday.

Andy, Alexis and soon-to-be Baby Byers joined us, too. Dinner was fantastic and it was mellower than what we are used to. I made Turducken which was much easier to cook than a turkey, but I don't think I'll do one again. Duck is just too damn persnickety and when it cooks a little too long, it tastes like rubber. Everything else was fantastic! Alexis made an amazing apple cranberry relish that was Eliana's favorite part of the meal!
