Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving with Grandma Lala, Papa Rod, Aunt Ashley and Paul. It was our fourth Thanksgiving in Arizona. That is hard to believe. I think back to that first year here when we hosted the holiday without any furniture! We've come a long way...we actually used the china this year! I also cooked for the fourth year in a row so I'm getting the hang of it now. I really love it and I NEVER thought I'd say that about cooking anything.

(which, incidentally, is still looking gorgeous on our table.  Those are some long lasting roses!).

minus Dad but randomly including the hallway. 

Grandma Lala is always up for an art project and reading stories

and Natalie could do both all day  long.

It was a fun weekend.  Thanks for making the trip, Mom and Dad! 

And thanks for eating two Thanksgiving dinners, Ashley and Paul.
