Uh, there's no creative title for this. So, Thanksgiving 2010!

Despite the lack of creativity for the name on this post, at least we thought outside the box for our Thanksgiving feast this year. For a while Casey and I have wanted to try turducken, and this was the year! We got to host, and so we took advantage of the opprtunity to try something different that the kids might get a kick out of.

This year we have a lot to be thankful for as my mother has had a relatively easy "cancer experience" and has been given the grace to deal with it in peace and strength. Adam and Amber went to Ethiopia and met their daughter, and will be travelling soon to bring her home. With hours to spare on New Year's Eve, we'll add her to our family and close out 2010 with great joy!

Norah and Haddon made place markers, and we had a very fun time anticipating all our guests for this year's celebration.


I think it's safe to say it was a hit. A broken gate, burnt out garbage disposal and a wounded bed later, we said good-bye to Thanksgiving 2010 and hello to the Christmas season!
