Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! We hope that everyone had a great time, and was able to spend it with people they care about. Nathan and I hosted for Nathan's brother Jason and sister-in-law Nicole, my sister Kirstin, and a co-worker of Nathan's who is from India, Ankit. We skipped the turkey and made prime rib (why not right, we were hosting!) , but we still had all the traditional sides. Kirstin made delicious pumpkin pies from my Mom's recipe, and she did a great job. Thank you! The only bad part of the day was that I scratched my cornea (like I did last Christmas on the way to Arizona). I fell asleep next to James with my contacts in when he woke up crying the night before. When I awoke at 4:45am, I rubbed my eyes, took out my contacts, and knew that I had done it again. It KILLED, seriously, and so light sensitive (didn't help with all the new snow) I had the blinds and curtains drawn all day. However, after doing this last year I knew that in about 2 days cornea's replace themselves completely, so I'd be good as new. I'm almost all the way 100% now. Lesson learned: NEVER sleep in contacts.

Ankit, Jason, Nicole, Kirstin, (my empty chair) and Nathan. James had his nap during dinner which was really nice
And a cute one of James for the grandparents :)
Sorry for lack of neat food pictures, but I really couldn't open my eyes much at all. We did get to use my great-grandmother's china that I received this summer from my grandma, I remember always using that as a little girl, and I'm even the one who chipped a platter when I was about 5 or 6. We also had sparkling cider, another tradition. What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions?
Daddy and James, who reminds me of the kid from A Christmas Story who "can't put his arms down" because of all the snow gear.
"Cheese", I love his little voice when he says that
Trying the snow, just don't try the yellow snow, it isn't lemon!!
Kind of deep, at least James' boots work! Can't say the same for Nathan's tennis shoes, now he needs boots
