"In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took."

Monday Nov 19th was our first Thanksgiving dinner. We ate at Justin's. Friends were going out of town so we decided to have an early dinner so that we could all celebrate together. We made everything ourselves and everybody brought a dish. It was great!

Megan and Tori cooking.... the start to our first Thanksgiving.

Justin getting the fire started...so cozy!

Rach did the turkey. It was her first one and she did such a great job! Even Robbie in the background was immpressed.

Megan was making squash casserole with her family's recipe. It was sooo good!!!

Martha Stewart would be proud.....

Look at what we did. Our families should be impressed!

Getting ready to say the blessing....now let's eat!!!

Nov 22, Thanksgiving Day

The four of us headed over to Robbie's to hang out before dinner. We had plans to eat at our bosses house but enjoyed hanging out at Robbie's before hand. We played bocci ball, watched some football and helped them with some of their cooking. His parents came in to town so they had a big turnout for their dinner.

P.S Again, this is our everyday view!!! AMAZING!

Good Friends!

Us girls!!! There aren't too many in Jackson so we have to stick together!! :)

We had dinner with our family from work. Amy did everything herself. It was amazing!!

Amy and Mike

The boys cleaning up after dinner. WOW!!!!

Ugh...I think I ate way too much!

Tori and Megan fell asleep after dinner. Too funny. The next day was Megan's birthday, so while they were snoozing Rach and I snuck out to.....

...decorate Megan's desk at work. She had no idea!!!

After being party poopers and falling asleep on the couch we decided to head back to the mansion Megan is housesitting and hang out in the hot tub. I think it was in the teens that night. It was so cold outside but was a nice ending to the day.

Before passing out for the evening we hung out in robes and watched CABLE TV. So nice.

A great day!

Although I wasn't with my immediate family for Thanksgiving, it still felt complete because I was with my family here. We all had each other and enjoyed the excitment of starting new traditions.
