A Time For Giving Thanks

I have never had to cook a Thanksgiving meal! Don't get me wrong, I have contributed to many a feast, but this year was the first time in my entire marriage that I was confronted with the possibility of having to put on a Thanksgiving meal all by myself. We no longer live near Dan's family and with my parent's having moved to Scotland it seemed inevitable that I might actually have to cook a turkey. Luckily, our friends invited us over instead, and I was spared for one more year. I did make the rolls, pumpkin pie, apple pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a veggie tray though.

Cicialy's Kindergarten Thanksgiving play was precious. She was a little pilgrim girl and memorized her part perfectly. I am still not sure why her teacher put black spots all over thier faces. They kind of look they have small pox or something!

10 Years

On November 16, 2011 Dan and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We decided to leave the kids with some friends and take a three day trip to New Orleans. We stayed at a great bed and breakfast in the garden district, ate amazing food, toured art galleries in the French Quarter, rode the trolley out to Audobon Park, shopped Magazine Street (thanks Dan!), and because I love Dan so much we spent a few hours at the National WWII museum.
