thanksgiving

well after a busy weekend of weddings, why would this week want to slow down? but really, i wouldnt have it any other way.

thanksgiving at my house when i was growing up was always a big deal. mom and dad would get up super early to get the turkey in the oven, and then the rest of us would eventually get up. two of my favorite things were always watching the macy's thanksgiving parade and helping my dad make the dressing. and in our house, if there werent at least a few more people to celebrate it with, it just wasnt thanksgiving. i took after my dad in that respect. so every year that josh and i have had thanksgiving at our house, i watch the parade, make the dressing, and invite as many of over friends that want to come. this year was of course no different.

it was a great time to relax with friends and eat amazing food. its nice to have such great friends when we are so far away from home. this year i am thankful for those friends that came to share thanksgiving with us, and that even though we are so far away from home, we have a wonderful family that are always there for us.

happy turkey day!
