Thanksgiving

I was so thankful to be able to actually spend Thanksgiving with my family this year.  Though last year was as nice as it possibly could be for not being home, this year just felt right.  We spent Thursday dinner with my Dad's side of the family, and Friday brunch with the Mom's side.  It was a little overwhelming, but the laughs, hugs and love are so worth it.

This is the "Nelson Lips" picture from Thursday night.  I don't know why we did this, but we did.

Thanksgiving highlight: My Mother, the Ninja.
After praying before we started serving ourselves on Thursday night, I heard something fall to the floor, and my Mom say, I have a wet towel, in an incredibly calm voice.  I thought nothing of it, maybe gravy spilled or something.  I find out later that a sterno that was heating some potatoes was knocked to the floor, still burning, and it lit the cabinet on fire.  My mom put it out, she's a ninja.
