Thanksgiving!

Turkey sandwich for lunch

Pretending to be Jesus

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, I know I did! Although I couldn't be home with my family, I was with my Florence family. Chloe and I made little cookie turkeys and hand turkey place cards for everyone the night before. Chloe made gravy, stuffing and garlic mashed potatoes. I made roast chicken with stuffing and bacon, green beans with almonds and mac & cheese. Grace, Olivia, Vero, David and Hannah came over to eat dinner. We ate so much that everyone had to lay down for hours afterwards. The food was delicious! We had intended to eat a second dinner a couple hours later, but it never happened. We had fun laying around being too full and drinking wine. I ended up taking a little cat nap, which was good considering we didn't get to bed until one and had to be up again at four. I'm still eating leftovers and they taste amazing!

Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving! Those who know me know it's absolutely my favorite holiday! I've had really mixed emotions this week - I'm happy thanksgiving is here, but I'm also sad not to be home. All of my friends keep telling me how nice it is to be home. While I want to be home with my family so bad, I refuse to wish away the time while I'm here. I have just about three weeks left and I'm going to make the most of it! Anyway, I'm so thankful for all my friends and family! I'm spending the day cooking a giant thanksgiving dinner with Chloe for our friends. I'm leaving tomorrow painfully early for a trip - if I can't be home this is my second choice! Happy Thanksgiving!
