It was strange being all the way across the country for Thanksgiving this year. I think it was the first time we have been away from family for the Holiday. Feeling a little sad and isolated it was hard to think of things to be thankful for at first but I realized that we have been blessed with so much this year! An awesome apartment in a great neighborhood, a job, friends, a church community, a healthy pregnancy, family visits, fun trips, and each other. Sometimes it is easy to forget that Jeff and I have our own little family now. It was nice spending the day together and preparing a special meal for Jeff, the baby, and our friend Matt.
Jeff played in the Turkey bowl with our church in the morning. I had so much fun watching him play! The moment I got near to the playing field I started hearing comments like "we just need to make a bunch of Jeff clones" and "Jeff is amazing!" He had been looking forward to the game for months and it was so nice to see him having fun.

I ended up cooking a full on Thanksgiving dinner for just 3 (1/2) people so needless to say we had a lot of food leftover! I just couldn't bear to do anything less than everything :)
