We had a fun Thanksgiving this year! We decided to see what it was like to have Thanksgiving at our house, and although we missed being with our relatives, we did enjoy giving thanks with each other!
To start the Thanksgiving holiday off, Katelyn's preschool had a Thanksgiving Feast and performance. In case you're wondering what a preschool "feast" consists of: chicken nuggets, apple slices, carrot sticks, a chocolate chip cookie, and fruit punch....a little on the non-traditional side, but a preschooler's dream lunch nonetheless. Dave was in China, so I invited my friend Rose to come watch the performance with me. We had a great time! See pictures below...
On Thanksgiving Day, we watched the Macy's parade on T.V. that morning and then hosted our friends, Michael and Sue, for dinner that evening. This was my first Thanksgiving dinner to cook by myself (except when we were in China, and that was just different altogether), and it turned out pretty well! Since Michael and Sue are from China, we shared a little about the Thanksgiving story and made turkeys with our handprints. To top off the evening, we enjoyed Cheesecake Factory pumpkin cheesecake (thank you Sam's Club!).
So much to be thankful for indeed!

Look at Rose sporting that fancy hat! Love it! Where did you get that sweater? Super cute! :)
Katelyn is looking way too grown up already. So nice of you to invite Rose--looks like she was very glad to be a part of the festivities.
We missed you at Thanksgiving but are glad you were able to host your friends from China--way to go on those handprint turkeys.
Love, MOM
