This year Chad & I spent Thanksgiving with his side of the family. My in-laws had it at their place, which makes it convenient for us because they just live five minutes away. We had a large gathering of seventeen of us this year. We had a great spread of food as always. Everything from the turkey and potatoes and the fixings and of course all the yummy desserts from Shelley. I have to admit that one of my favorite things about our gatherings are the desserts. Shelley made Pecan pie, Apple pie, Pumpkin pie (my favorite), a single pecan free pie for Chad who is allergic and her famous tarts and pomegranate sorbet. I need to learn how to make some of these goodies sometime. The thing I loved the most about our day was spending time with family. Chad & I love to be with family and it is always a fun time. What a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful family. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and we look forward to our next gathering Dec 27 at Aunt Shelley & Uncle Bart's place in Ballard. They live in a beautiful older home with lots of antiques. Chad & I would love to live in a place like that one day. We are looking forward to gathering again as a family to celebrate Christmas.
