Hope you and yours had a great turkey day.
Ours was wonderful. We were successful in the 3 "F's" of the Day.
1) Food
Anyone who knows how my mom cooks, knows that no get-together is complete without a feast. This year was no exception.

2) Family
We almost had everyone there, dad is overseas...but Chad made it home from his 3rd tour in Iraq the weekend before Thanksgiving. Todd traveled 4000 miles to make it there (he'd been in Portugal). And of course, Heath and Pearl drove down from KC for her first Thanksgiving as a Wilson. The cousins were all together and had a ton of fun playing together, and unbelievably got along really well this time.

3) Friends
Although brief, I did manage to party in "the Chuck" a few nights. Got to catch up with some of the old gang...Micki (one of my dearest friends for over 2 decades), and a large group of my best guy friends (Derek, Justin, and company--practically a high school reunion). They had their annual "Pumpkin Party" (with a keg of Pumpkin Beer from our local brewery). This year it was out in the country, there was a huge bonfire, a tractor led hayride (possibly my favorite part of the evening-well that, and the "dance-off") and enough stories from the past to keep us laughing 'til next year.

We have so much to be thankful for...
