Today was a really wonderful day. We had our neighbors, Danielle and Chuck oversight their three kiddos and made a bunch of food. They made the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, stuffing, and biscuits while we made the ham, green bean casserole (Mikes fave!), cherry pie, macaroni, and jello. It was awesome making our first Thanksgiving dinner together. The cherry pie was interesting but good. Haha
It was tough not being with either of our families, but nice to know we can enjoy the day with each other and friends. Now that the day is done, I'm a little sad knowing next year we will be apart, but even more of a reason to enjoy it more than we do. There is so much for us to be grateful for and we are.
Hope everyone else had such a nice day. Now tomorrow it's time to decorate for Christmas. I am not going to join the crazier for Black Friday either. I did it last year, we can take this one off. :0)

I'm glad your Thanksgiving turned out great, too. I know the first one away from home is hard. I don't know what I would have done without friends to spend holidays with when we were in Sicily. It was hard for me this year, at first, because even though we're stateside again, we're still far enough from family that they still don't/can't come often. But ours turned out wonderful as well. =)
ReplyDeleteGreen bean casserole is my favorite, too. =)
Happy Thanksgiving!
