thanks...thanks...thanksgiving!!

soooo today was thanksgiving...and whew, i barely survived!! it was a woooonderful day!! i woke up just in time to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, then i made a pumpkin roll, which i need to rename (any ideas?)...that name just does not do it justice. mom, megan and i played phase 10 for awhile, and by that time aunt debbie showed up, and things really got rolling! we ate minimal appetizers, drank cranberry kiss cocktails, and finished preparations for the meal. around this time everyone else showed up, my grandparents, my hippie aunt and uncle, her mom, and my second, second cousin, or something, and her husband. we had the most aaaaamazing meal, totally gourmet everything, it was fantastic.
everyone just left, and i am reminded how lucky i am to have family, and how grateful it makes me feel to be able to come home and be completely enveloped in the coziness of the holidays...which reminds me...its time to start decorating for christmas!!!! wahoo!
