Turkey Day

This year we spent our Thanksgiving feast at the Anderson's, and boy was it a feast! I even tried my hand at making a cornucopia. I saw it online and figured it couldn't be too hard to make. (It's made from my bread stick recipe.)

I also brought my Reeses Peanut Butter Pie for my in-laws to try. It was a hit! (I've had people ask me for the recipe, so I left it as a comment in my first post this month.)

On Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a severe blizzard warning for all of Utah. This was to be the biggest blizzard Utah had seen in years! People left work early to try to beat the storm, and universities canceled classes after 3:00 pm. This was a big deal! But we managed to stay warm inside our home surrounded by friends as we celebrated our annual Friends' Thanksgiving breakfast (for dinner).

Sometimes we would get up and look out the window to see this so-called "blizzard". The result: half an inch of snow. Really? But what we did notice were the FREEZING arctic temperatures. It was -15 Thanksgiving morning! We better gear up for another cold winter! But I will say this, the snow on the mountains is absolutely breath-taking. Sometimes, that makes the cold worth it. :)
