Happy Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. A day of celebration. A day of eating and good food. A day of football??...and of course, A day of giving thanks and remembering all of the many blessings you have in your life to be thankful for.

This year we were able to spend this special day with great friends!
We got together, decorated, cooked, and brought together a fabulous Thanksgiving feast!!

Christal was the mastermind behind the table settings....I took pictures, and helped with these adorable napkin holders:
 Everything looked so put together.....
...and so much like Thanksgiving...

The food was, of course, AMAZING and DELICIOUS!!!
(I brought mashed potatoes, drinks, and veggies...)
We had turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, creamed carrots, string beans, candied yams, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, egg nog, ginger ale, and ..........

Dessert!!! 
(banana cream pie, pumpkin pie/cookies/cheesecake!) YUM!
And our entertainment for the night - this little monkey...
...and his table-dance??  ;)

For being as far away from home as I have ever been for the holidays, it sure didn't feel like it!

I am grateful for wonderful friends - and our home away from home!
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!
