Thanksgiving 2009

I woke up yesterday morning to the sound of Jason chopping potatoes - I went upstairs to find Jason already working on our Thanksgiving dinner! He had chopped the potatoes & the yams & had water boiling. Now THAT is a fabulous husband - I think I need to be pregnant every holiday (just kidding)! I started helping him and below is a picture of what we ended up with:

Our Thanksgiving dinner - ham with brown sugar glaze, mashed potatoes, green beans, yam souffle w/ marshmallows, biscuits & sweet iced tea (decaf, of course). And the only thing that came out of a can was the beans! :-)

Jason - all smiles & ready to eat! :-)

We enjoyed our meal, and then relaxed in front of the TV (Jason spent a lot of time playing a new game that he got for the PS3). After some relaxing, we began decorating for Christmas. Again, Jason was SO much help - he brought all of the boxes up from the basement (we have 3 stories, so this is quite a job), put together the tree and even did a lot of the decorating. The house looks great - I will post some pictures of our holiday decor soon, just have a few finishing touches before it is complete.

In the spirit of the holiday, Jason & I discussed what we were thankful for. The list included:

#1 Easton, who is healthy, growing like a weed & will be here soon!
#2 each other
#3 our family & friends
#4 stable jobs & income
#5 our nice home, cars and other luxuries that we often take for granted
#6 Oddly, we were both thankful for the low-key day that we got to spend together ... we quickly realized that this will be one of the last "quiet holidays" that we will have for quite some time. While we are beyond excited about Easton's arrival, there is something nice about spending time just the two of us.

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and look forward to what 2010 will bring. We love & miss you all!
