Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving table

I am so very thankful for so many things this year, but I guess I will have to start with the most obvious....FAMILY

Matt and I...Our First Thanksgiving

Matt and I are our own little family for our first Thanksgiving together and it was wonderful. We even hosted Thanksgiving this year!

Sue and Steve (Matt's parents) in front of the Christmas tree that Sue and I put up and decorated (we also did the outdoor lights along the poarch....brrrrrr it was cold!)

Matt's parents drove from Tenn. on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to spend some time with us. His brother and sister-in-law could not make it due to commitments at work and with the other family. But it was so special for us to have Matt's parents here, to see our house, to see how we live, to enjoy a vacation and just spend time together. They were able to stay until Sunday morning.

Glen and Betty (my parents)

My parents came down from Harrisonburg on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Both of my sisters were busy with their respective in-law families. It was wonderful to have part of both of our families together, and to enjoy each others company. They stayed until Thursday evening.

Many card games were played
Many Wii games were challenged
Many stories were told
Many laughs were had
Many items of food were prepared
Many stomaches were always stuffed!

It was a wonderful time....

"This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: 'Huge success.'"

Qapla!
