Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned.
After unabashedly eating two separate Thanksgiving dinners on two separate days this past weekend (neither of which was cooked - or hosted - by me), The Hubbs and I came home and made our very own 22-lb turkey.
And we didn't invite anyone to help us eat it.
That's right: we hoarded that giant turkey. All for ourselves.
We had two more traditional turkey dinners on Sunday and Monday, followed by some super-fun leftover experiments.
The cream of turkey and wild rice soup is fantastic. No, I really mean it. This stuff is epic.
Tonight, we'll be making one of our favorites: turkey pot pie.
And in between everything else, there's always The Hubbs' specialty: turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce.
Oh, and this whole time, guess who's been singing "Twinkle?"
Life is good, folks. Life is good.
And, for those of you joining in on the countdown, only fifteen more days until I've finished my AS degree. What will I do with all of this upcoming free time? Somehow, I don't think it'll be a problem.

16...and Cousins
This Thanksgiving, we all hopped in our little maroon car and did the whole over-the-river-and-through-the-woods thing.
Arriving an hour or so early, we had a chance to hang out with JAK, Nana, Grampy, Great Grammie, and Great Grampy before the crowds descended.
The Princess and The Bear were inseparable for most of the day, much of which was spent with K leading our girl around by the hand.
Two years ago - hell, even last year - I would never have thought this possible.
Every day, I stand in awe of our girl. And, though I think it almost constantly, I can't remember the last time I typed it out loud:
Thank God for the team of people who have contributed to The Princess's happiness, wellbeing, and emergence from this debilitating shell we call autism.
For without you, you wonderful individuals, this little girl may not have any idea how wonderful it can be to have cousins.

17...and Open Doors
This past weekend, the Hubbo family ventured out to T's place for Thanksgiving with friends.
The food was great, the company was wonderful, and The Princess was in rare form.
Not only did she use the big girl potty repeatedly, but she also let herself out into the living room once.
Look out, world...it seems The Princess has figured out the wiley ways of the elusive doorknob.
