I was a little afraid of Thanksgiving this year. Maybe it was because we wouldn't spend it with our families or maybe it was because this would be the first year that I wouldn't join the crazies at 5AM (ok so it was midnight last year) with my mom on Black Friday. Whatever the reason, I was dreading its arrival. However, once it was finally upon us, I wasn't as upset as I thought. I honestly think it would have been harder if we lived in a place like New York. Because we live here and nobody else celebrates, it just felt like another day. Brady had to go to work, Parker and I went to our usual Thursday activities and the only reminder was talking to our families on Skype (thank you guys).
We did celebrate...on Saturday. My friend Mandy and I cooked a traditional Thanksgiving meal and it was delicious! We spent the whole day watching the kids play, talking and playing cards. It was as close to home as I could have hoped. I can't tell you how grateful I am for their friendship. They have truly made this transition easier.
I was going to post pictures of our feast, but I forgot to take any. Below are a few I took of just family. I just wanted to let our families know that we missed them so much, but that we were also with good friends so not to worry.
