So I know it's late but we had a wonderful thanksgiving that I wanted to share.  For starters Currey's mom sent us flowers for our centerpiece.  They were pretty when we got them but as they opened they were amazing.  And they lasted over a week!  

I also got to use my china.  It is so special for so many reasons!  I love it because it is pink, because it was one of the first thing's I got with my new initial on it and I have such fond memories of the outpouring of love that surrounded us as we prepared for marriage.  I look for any excuse to use it.  There was lots of pink!

We had several friends come.  Victor, Ryan, Ryan's Fiance Kristine, Her Sister Ilene, and our friend Liz from small group.  Here's a shot of the whole group minus Currey.

It was such a fun meal to prepare.  We had a ham, crescent rolls, green bean bundles, cornbread stuffing, baked mac'n'cheese, and twice baked potatoes.  Liz made 2 great apple pies and Ilene made a pumpkin one as well.  I didn't get a picture of the food but this is the aftermath!  

It was a wonderful day with friends.  Although we missed spending the holiday with family we love that we are richly blessed with wonderful friendships here.
