Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Once again we are spending Thanksgiving just the 5 of us, but it's kind of fun to hang out in jammies and not have to worry about the house being clean. I am sooo happy to have a nice big oven after three years of a tiny german oven! I made two pies at the same time! SO much easier! The turkey smells great and I can't wait for dinner later today. Zach is happy he can acutally watch football live and not a recording or stay up really late! Since it is Thanksgiving I asked each of the boys (Zach included) to name 5 things they are thankful for! And they couldn't copy each other. And they thought watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was torture!

We miss all of our family and friends, but are grateful for the technology we have to communicate with them even when we are miles apart! At least this year we are on the same continent as most of them!

Happy Thanksgiving!
