There are so many things for which I am thankful, but especially the gospel and my family, which are truly the most important things in my life. I'm so grateful to have them.
I'm also happy that there is a day specifically for remembering to be thankful! I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!!! I enjoyed another Thanksgiving in NYC this year. The weather was a bit colder this time around, but that didn't prevent it from being a fabulous day.
I started my day at 6am by stuffing a turkey and getting it in the oven in time to meet up with friends to go to the parade (more photos can be found on Facebook). We went to 72nd and Central Park West and had a fairly good view, at least of the floats! It was a fun experience.
The following photos are in no particular order, just a few floats that caught my eye - - -

Richard, totally thought of you!
I love Snoopy, aka the WWI Flying Ace
Carla, do you still have your old wallet??

We waited (maybe not quite patiently) for Santa, and here he is!!!
For Thanksgiving dinner this year, a group of us who stayed in town got together and put together a traditional dinner. I was very happy that we were able to get a few extras to come so that I had an excuse to make a turkey with stuffing!!
I also enjoyed making a few pies (pumpkin and apple). My Mother thought I stacked the apples a bit high on this one, but it totally turned out fine!
Many thanks to our friend Rich, who loaned us his apartment for dinner! Instead of passing the food, someone brilliant (I actually don't know who devised this plan because I was busy making gravy, but it was truly brilliant) decided that we could put all the food on the table and then walk around it and serve ourselves like a buffet; it worked very well.
Trust me, the food was absolutely delicious! Everyone who came contributed something and it all came together very well.
My favorite part, the rolls.
Thanks to everyone who came, you made it a wonderful day!

Happy Thanksgiving!
