A Great Thanksgiving Day

We had a great Thanksgiving Day!

We did have school in the morning (bummer), but our friends Josh and Mandi Warren decided to come visit us for Thanksgiving weekend. What a nice treat! They arrived here in the afternoon and we began our adventure in cooking. Here was our menu: rotisserie chickens from a guy down the street, stove top stuffing, fresh pineapple, mashed potatoes from a box, canned corn, greens beans wrapped in bacon, fresh bread from down the street, and a chocolate pie with vanilla ice cream. It took us about 4 hours to cook everything, but our oven finally got it all done! Yay! It was a nice and relaxing day full of tons of food just like it's supposed to be. We got to talk to our families that evening and went to bed at a decent time for once. Such a great day.

Our pretty table...even found some china in the closet

Molly and Erin sent me a Yankee Pumpkin Pie candle and the Thanksgiving centerpiece for the table. And Will brought me home a Poinsettia from Walmart.

Love it...feels like home

Our room-temperature rotisserie chickens bought from a guy on the street. No one is sick yet, so that's good.

Our spread of food. We even found a classic Christmas station on Pandora to play in the background! So great! Can you tell I was excited?

A full plate makes me so happy!

New cute jammies from home

We've started watching Christmas movies today and listening to Christmas music constantly. It's definitely different getting in the Christmas spirit in 75 degree weather but we're trying. We are getting ready to come home in just 2 weeks. Can't wait! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
