Thanksgiving preparations

We're having Thanksgiving at our home this year! My mom and I have been preparing for a few weeks now, talking about menus and what who was going to make what. We're serving my parents, two brothers, Kody and me. Here's the menu:

K and K:
Turkey
Jell-o
Mashed potatoes
Green bean casserole
pumpkin pie

Mom:
Stuffing
Sweet potato casserole
Rolls
Cranberries
Chocolate pecan pie

I also attempted to make some homemade bread for the first time ever last night. The attempt went ... well, I did make some bread and it is edible. haha. Here are some pics chronicling my adventure:


The bread before it rose the first time - I made one loaf of white and one loaf of wheat


It rose!


It rose again! So pretty! Problem #1: I only have one bread pan, but two loaves of bread rising at the same time. So the white bread got to go in the oven first.


The wheat bread rose too, but since it rose for the second time in a bowl and then I had to transfer it to the bread pan, out went all the air. So here we have a slightly burnt loaf of white bread and a very short, dense loaf of wheat bread. We tried the white last night and I had it for breakfast this morning - it was pretty good! A little burnt tasting though. The wheat ... I'm waiting until tonight to give that one a try, haha.
