It is Finally Here!

Well, I did it! I hosted my first Thanksgiving dinner. It went fairly well - meaning that I didn't freak out too much and we didn't have to go to McDonald's for dinner. It was just a small party. Matt's Mom and his friend Edgar came over. We had some good food and a great time talking and just having fun. Bev made some amazing rolls and a great home-made pumpkin pie. It was wonderful. After dinner we headed over to my parent's house and had the second helping of pie (I love Thanksgiving!) We just missed my sister and her family, but it was still great to see my parents.

Here is a picture of our dinner all set up.This is Matt, Edgar, and Bev. I caught them getting ready to leave, that is why Matt has his shoes in his hand. I forgot to take any other pictures during the night.
We also put up our Christmas tree this weekend. Matt dug the tree out of storage on Friday while I was at work and made sure all the spiders were out of it before we decorated. Then on Saturday we added all the ornaments. It was fun. Here are a couple pictures of our tree. (you will notice there are no presents under it - we haven't had time to go shopping yet).

It's kind of funny because I ended up at McDonalds for ThanksGiving, of course there is no Thanksgiving here. Glad everything went well for you and there were no spiders.

Congrats on your first Thanksgiving dinner! I hope to avoid doing that for a looong looong time! Your tree looks great. Ours has no presents either.
