Turkey Day in TURKEY!

I've been looking forward to Turkey Day for a while now. Ever since my friend C gave me these awesome pasta noodles!! I was so excited to use them in my mac 'n cheese! And of course, to eat the rest of a delicious Thanksgiving dinner!

The BIRD....
this baby barely fit in our little European oven! Noah did a fantastic job this year though. It was beautiful, and delicious!

The TABLE...
I got the pretty napkin ring holders from my favorite store Zara Home! They have a fun "vintage" feel.

I made fall caramel wrapped/chocolate dipped pretzels for pre-dinner snacks. MMM. Got these from my girl Kesli! They are some of my favorite things!!

My friend L made everyone the cutest Turkeys out of Oreos and Candy Corns! They were so awesome! Definitely made it feel like Turkey Day after that!

She also came thru with DELICIOUS homemade rolls! I can never make them turn out right. Yay for good rolls on Thanksgiving!

The TREATS...
yes, we had plenty! There were also 3 pies, yummy pumpkin fruit dip, and a pumpkin sheet cake with cream cheese frosting! These darling cupcakes were some of my favorites though!
L was a fantastic baker this year!

I sadly didn't really get any photos of people? Guess we were having too much fun stuffing ourselves silly. We did come away from the day with this one though! Ronan went to town on that Turkey leg! It was awesome! He loved every bite of it.

We had a lovely day, with wonderful company and enjoyed feeling like we were home in the States for just a little while. We ate an early dinner, and were even able to watch on the Macey's Thanksgiving Day parade in the background!
Happy Turkey Day everyone!
We will always enjoy our memory of Turkey Day in Turkey!
