(Jenn) When our Thanksgiving plans with family didn't work out (a.k.a. Jenn wimped out regarding the 8+ hour drive with screaming baby), we felt so lucky to have good friends that FEEL like family to spend the holiday with! It turned out to be a lovely day. We drove to Amy and Dave's in CT and had dinner with them and Emily and Dave (who drove up from PA). Then JoDee, Brandon, and Olivia joined us for pie! It was a great to be with close friends from the good old school days.
Yesterday somebody asked Henry if he ate turkey for Thanksgiving. When he said no, they got a little uncomfortable wondering if maybe we didn't celebrate Thanksgiving and we were going to be offended. Then he quickly reported that he ate "stuffing and a roll." And the roll was the best part. So it wasn't much of a feast for Henry, but the rest of us ate our hearts out, and it was beautiful. We also stayed up way too late talking and playing before heading home (we arrived just in time for Ellis' 1:30am feeding).

I'm thankful for those things too. Can you blame the kid? :-) Glad you had a good Thanksgiving. Sounds like fun; especially the not 8+ hour drive!
How delightful that you have so many high school friends in the East, kind of fun, really.
