Happy Thanksgiving!

As I was driving home from Sharon's house I caught Mt. Hood looking mighty spectacular.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was crazy busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The only way for holidays not to be hectic is to eliminate spending time with one family or another, but then we feel like something is missing.

Wednesday night we went out with Greg and Christina to Claim Jumpers. I ordered the macadamia nut crusted halibut and it was to die for...so good with the coconut sauce and rice...and the monster eclair we all split for dessert was also amazing...a feast for the tastebuds, for sure!

Everyone was able to fit around Sharon's new table.

This afternoon, my sister Andrea came over to cook the turkey and help me out in the kitchen while I was eating Thanksgiving lunch with Dan's mom and his siblings.

By the time dinner was ready, the kids were already in their dress up clothes.

I left early to get everything set up for my family to come over for dinner. It was great to spend time with everyone who could make it today/tonight and I would love to elaborate, but I have plans to get up early for Black Friday sales! I'll post more details tomorrow.
