Thanksgiving!

The "last" picture of Brooke....
The feast...it was SO SO good!
You cant tell it here, but Ty was just one of the 4 of us who were bleeding...
Too many cooks in the kitchen? I think not! 
Ahhhh, the fireplace
Mac always finds the best places to lay
Believe it or not, this was relaxing BEFORE the meal! Everyone had a long day of cooking
YAY for Erica!!! :-)
The cuckoo clock....it actually signifies a lot...
Thanksgiving.  I have to admit, I have a lot to be thankful for.  I really have a great life, surrounded by the greatest people in the world, whether it those people be here in Boston, back in MN, Canada, LA, etc.  I really have so much to be thankful for.  

This year we were invited (or maybe we invited ourselves...) to Sasha & Brooke's new house in JP.  And we were lucky enough to have Pammy fly in for the festivites.  I, unfortunately, am back to working fulltime and had to work all day on Thanksgiving.  I was jealous that everyone was having fun cooking, drinking, and hanging out and I was missing it.  When I finally got to their house after work, I didn't realize how much I truly missed out on.  I wont get into details, because honestly, I dont even really know all that I missed, the one thing I do know, is by the time I arrived, I was # 4 out of 5 people who had an injury that involved blood! Yep, I said blood.  Blood aside, it was an amazing meal.  Stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, coleslaw, lasagna, and of course turkey.  I didn't think life could get any better.  I was wrong.  Then, came the pie.  Brooke made THREE pies for 5 people!!  Truly, it was heaven.  Apple, pumpkin, & pecan.  And yes, I ate a piece of all of them.  It was wonderful.   Unfortunately, the night came to an end shortly after eating...Ty had to work in the AM, and I think everyone was exhausting from not only working so hard at making the meal so perfect, but I think everyone was feeling a little lightheaded from the loss of blood! :-)  A night to remember....

Like I said before, I am so lucky and so thankful for all of the wonderful things and people in my life.  I dont know what I did to deserve such fabulous friends & family, but I do know that I appreciate you all more than you know.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!
