Thanksgiving

I have no pictures of any of us on Thanksgiving, just the crafts that contributed to our gathering and feasting.  This year we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with great friends, fabulous food, football, and the all important black friday shopping!

The company was wonderful.  One of the many perks about being in Texas (besides the wonderful weather during this time of year) is getting to be here with friends.  Serioulsy we are pretty lucky.  We all contributed to the meal and I have to say it was pretty AMAZING.  The nice thing about splitting it up was that all of us brought something, so no one felt totally overwhelmed.



Shauni made it all look professional with her table settings, and I contributed my knock of Pottery Barn mayflower name plates.  Not to shabby.

Earlier we made these cute little turkeys to go on the kids plates.  They didn't last long.  And I also brought along my "pumpkin turkey" to use as the center piece for the kids table.

It always amazes me how much organization and prep work goes into pulling of an event like this, and how insanely quick it all seems to be over.  But despite the fact that we are both over 24 hours + away from our families, it was a nice day.  It actually got chilly which helped with the holiday feeling.  Shopping was fun, and eating left over pie even better (just kidding, nothing is funner than shopping).

I am grateful for so many things.  Health, family, a residency program, and most important the gospel.  It's what helps to keep everything in perspective and keep me on the right track.  Happy Thanksgiving!
