...phew! it's over. i cannot believe we pulled it off. we had 16 people and 3 dogs at our house on thanksgiving day. my parents got to our house bright and early that morning to put in the turkey and help us prepare for the day. my dad is sort of a turkey connoisseur... much like the dad in "a christmas story." so he had to make the turkey and it was much easier starting it here then transporting it from nj. we watched some of the parade on tv. i burned the cinnamon buns...oops! but come 2:30 everything was ready and everyone was here. i know pictures of food and table settings are probably boring... but our first thanksgiving in our new home needed to be documented. maybe i can find one of aubrey to throw in there...
the highlight of the day though was when it started storming and we had to bring all three dogs into the house. at one point they smashed over the gate and and came running through the dining and living rooms where everyone was starting to eating. we thought it was going to be over right then and there... it truly would have been like "a christmas story" with the dogs running off with the turkey and us ordering chinese for dinner. they were easily caught though and corralled back into the family room.
it really was a wonderful day.... and we do have so much to be thankful for.
