Thanksgiving in Idaho 2009

So I need to get this in before all the Christmas posts go up. We had a full house her at John and Colleens house this Thanksgiving, it was very fun and very loud, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Or we don't know how to have it any other way. Anyways, I was put in charge of the Turkey this year and was very nervous, because I've never done one before, but I found this great recipe for brineing it and preparing it and it turned out just great in my opinion. I also had to make my Granny's famous fruit salad,because with out it it just wouldn't have been Thanksgiving for me. Here are some pics!
