I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving filled with your lovies, good food, and endless conversation. I personally know that is how my Thanksgiving went this year.  I celebrated my favorite Holiday with 13 of my nearest and dearest.  I could not of been more excited to host Thanksgiving because I just love this holiday.  To me it is about gathering with your favorites, eating yummy food, laughing until you cry, and sharing stories of the past.

I would be lying if I said I did not think of my MI and Dominican family (truly my PCVers who I spent the Holidays with) but it was amazing to provide a 'home' for these 13 people who do not have roots in CO a place to eat Thanksgiving Dinner! I love hosting parties and it went soo well! I did not want it to be stressful or the vibe to be rough, rather I just wanted people to enjoy and that is what we did!

RALPH!

I made my first Turkey, Ralph! It was a teamwork effort for sure and he turned out pretty well. THANK YOU to Aunt Sue for walking me through how to clean Ralph and laughing with me as I totally grossed out! :)  I did not have any but my guest said it turned out very well.  One of them said it was a little dry so I told him to put some gravy on it! :) I do remember a moment right as we were about to eat and the whole group came together! There was a group of people in the living setting up the tables and a group in the kitchen making the stuffing, rolls, and craving the Turkey! I found myself with not a lot to do but just take a moment to be Thankful I have these amazing individuals in my life! 


This day will always hold a special place in my heart and I am excited for next year when we can do it all over again! :)
