Our Thanksgiving Feast

Since Cory and I have been married, we have not been able to travel home for many Thanksgivings.  If we have to choose between Christmas and Thanksgiving, we choose Christmas.  Instead, on Thanksgiving, our parents come to us.  Last year, Thanksgiving was extra special because we got to host some soldiers, who otherwise would have spent Thanksgiving alone.  We had such a great time getting to know them and telling stories about our lives.  So this year, we wanted to celebrate in a similar way.  We are not as close to an army base now, so we did not host soldiers this year.  However, we did host a couple of wonderful friends!  


My parents came in on Wednesday, as well as one of our college students from Georgia, Olive.  We cleaned and cooked all Thursday morning, and then everyone arrived at noon.  The food was delicious.  Cory fried a turkey, my dad baked one, and we had sides and desserts fit for a king.  


After dinner, everyone visited, played some games of washers and Mexican Train Dominoes. It was really a blast!


I am thankful for a special Thanksgiving!
