Thanksgiving Kicks off Holiday Season

My favorite time of year is finally here-the holidays! It started off great for us celebrating Thanksgiving. Last year we didn't get to celebrate Thanksgiving cause we were traveling through Europe (poor us :) and the two years before it was just me, Adam, Robbie, and Leigh, so this year it was fun to have a big group to celebrate with again!

We went to my sister Katie's house in Tucson. Her husband Matt's brother and sister live in Phoenix. So Matt's siblings, their significant others, their dogs, us and our dog, Katie's family of 5, and one of Matt's work friends with his two kids all celebrated together. Katie and I started cooking early in the morning, then went for a nice walk, then the festivities began. It was a fun day. Adam got the honor of carving the turkey :)

The dogs found that the turkey scraps were in the garbage (Diggy and Moby were too little)

All in all, it was a great meal, great company and a great kickoff to the season.
