29. Host Fakesgiving Dinner - Sadly, I have no photo documentation of our Fakesgiving Dinner with the Swans. We dined on turkey, my hippie stuffing made a come back, gravy, sweet potato rolls and Kiera brought mashed potatoes, roasted brussells sprouts, stuffed mushrooms, and a quinoa cranberry pistachio dish. Lane made his pumpkin cheesecake and we found out (days later) that the reason our turkey wasn't as cooked as we had hoped was that our oven is 50 degrees cooler than the set temperature. Well, that'll do it.
