THANKSGIVING DAY

We are thankful for so many things, but five straight nights of graveyard shifts over a vacation week...not so much! However, we made the most of our limited time together and enjoyed having Grandma and Papa here to share in our Thanksgiving day, although I was horrible with the camera.Matt prepped the turkey before leaving for work last night and we spent the morning getting the rest of the meal ready. Matt woke up around 1:00 and we had a nice early meal before he headed back to work.
Turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans, stuffing, rolls and gravy finished off with cranberry apple cider. We managed to even leave room for pumpkin and coconut creme pie!
Much of the afternoon was spent relaxing, playing board games and watching 3 great NFL games.
We are very thankful for our family, our friends, our health and even our jobs (even if Matt's has kept him away most of the week).
