Both Larry and I have much to be thankful for. We were especially thankful that Gail and Billy were able to come to Bend for a short visit. It was great to see them both, and of course little Kit! Kit is their seven month old American Eskimo puppy.
This Thanksgiving, it was our first attempt to cook a turkey and actually host the holiday. It was exciting! Our 15 pound turkey was moist and perfectly golden. We tried a new stuffing recipe and Larry made the best mashed potatoes using Rebecca's KitchenAid. Bravo Larry!
We dined on Rebecca's grandmother's china and used her festive red glasses too. And it wouldn't be Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie and homemade whipped topping. This year, we're celebrating a bunch of "firsts" and making new traditions for us as a couple and our family.
Though we have to mention, we do miss celebrating the holidays with our friends and family in CO! The celebrations and meals we've shared with all of you over the years has impacted us. We miss the joy at each gathering, and the fun we had playing cards, swinging from chandeliers, and trying new tasty holiday treats.
