We had a fabulous Thanksgiving celebration with my cousin David and part of his family in Sugarland. We ate around 1-2 PM. In the morning hours, Becky, my cousin Wendy and I were in the kitchen getting everything prepared and ready for our feast. Becky had already cooked the turkey. She let it slow roast in the oven overnight as we slept. She had set the table beautifully before we arrived too. Becky is very used to serving for large amounts of people. After all, she and David have 3 daughters and 16 grandkids, and they all frequent the Wood household quite often. Our Thanksgiving celebration was a mixed family affair, with relatives from both sides. It was David, Becky, 2 of their daughters, 3 of their grandkids, Larry and I, Becky’s sister and one of their cousins, and some of Wendy’s friends all gathered together to give thanks for the bounties we have been provided. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful celebration of family with family. That is what Thanksgiving is all about. 🙂

David is my 1st cousin, Wendy and Christy are my 2nd cousins, and John, Travis and Justin are my 3rd cousins. No matter how you label us, we all all cousins and we are all family. 🙂

David and Becky have already extended an invitation to us for next Thanksgiving as well.

Thank you David and Becky for including us for your Thanksgiving feast. We had a fabulous time. It was so great to catch up and to be able to visit with each other. Love y’all lots.
Glad you had a great time

Can you explain how to slow cook a turkey in the oven? It sounds like a great idea.

She set the oven for 250* F and just let it cook for about 8 hours. She covered it and just let it cook.

I think she breine3d it, but I’m not sure. She had it all done and ready before we got there, and I didn’t ask.
