Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Big holidays are hard on us, as we have no immediate family close-by. This was the 3rd year in a row we spent Thanksgiving away from everyone, and we're hoping to break that streak next year...

That being said, we drove on up to Paradise to spend it with a wonderful family that I've known for a long time. We had been trying to get our families together for quite sometime now, and the last time I had seen them I was 6 months pregnant!

I was thrilled to see all 6 of the Halls! Thanks you to Dan, Kerry, Ben, Peter, Emily & Chris for welcoming us into your home for such a big day. We enjoyed catching up, and while the men hung outside smoking ribs on Dan's home-made "white trash smoker" (made from two aluminum trashcans and other random items) enjoying lord knows how many brews, the women stayed in while Kerry readied the meal chatting about life and kids. The kids all took turns playing with Miles, and he was in heaven! Big kids that want to play with him?! Yes!

The halls also have two dogs that Miles chased around (and vice-versa) and enjoyed the slobbery kisses from.

We had an abundant meal of Ribs...so many ribs...ham, two kinds of Sweet Potatoes, biscuits, & coleslaw.

What a wonderful day spent with such wonderful people.

Hope you all had a great Turkey Day and had to unbutton your pants before supper was over.
