This year was the first year my boyfriend and I decided to host Thanksgiving. Not to mention the first year we had to cook as well! Everything went okay although I believe we could have done better on timing everything. We had our family come over at all different times (although the goal was 3). The food was not all ready at the same time and we had to keep reheating things in the oven waiting for others to arrive. My boyfriend had never carved a turkey before and suddenly came to realize he was not good at it. All in all, I thought everything tasted pretty good and everyone was stuffed according to tradition. By around 8 o’clock everyone was ready for their nap and went home so we realized that we had accomplished a successful Thanksgiving. At least by not burning or ruining anything; no one argued so that’s always a good sign right? Anyway, I hope everyone had a pleasant time with their families as well!
