Thanksgiving 2009

It was our "off" year for Thanksgiving, which means that Mary, Jenny and Karrissa spent the holiday with their in-laws. With my parents in Texas and Todd spending the day with Michelle's family, and of course, the Buchanans were in NY, we were a small group of nine for dinner. We did have a lovely adult dinner though. Jill went all out with the table setting, including cloth napkins, napkin rings, two goblets for water and sparkling cider and a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece.




It was a delicious meal and with so few people, we have a lot of yummy leftovers for tomorrow!

The evidence of the resulting tryptophan coma:






We also enjoyed seeing Disney's A Christmas Carol in 3D, complete with the goofy glasses. It was really good and fun to get into the Christmas spirit.


We have so much to be grateful for. One of my favorite moments of the day was going around the table before dinner and telling what we're grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Note: to prove that "great minds think alike" or "we've been married so long we think the same way" go here.

We missed being with you and the table looks gorgeous. I would have enjoyed your leftovers and the movie, too.
