We are grateful!

We had a really nice thanksgiving :)  I am very grateful that even though we live far away from family we have great friends to celebrate with. 

I spent the morning cooking.  I made southern style sweet potatoes, beet salad, corn pudding and German chocolate cake. 
Hannah spent the morning at the turkey bowl and then went to Chelsea's to help get ready for the day.
R spent the morning fishing.
E and Lu and the dogs spent the morning playing.

In the afternoon we went to the Martines and had a most delicious meal. 

In the evening there was dessert and a bonfire and lots of great conversation.

In the night we collapsed into bed full and grateful.
