Thanksgiving 2009

This year we decided to host Thanksgiving at our home and invite our families to join us. We had quite a large group for dinner - 12 adults and 3 kids. Thankfully my mom was there to help me out with it all or I would have been completely stressed out. She came over the day before and helped bake pies, make the stuffing and get me all ready for the big day! She and Mike drove up on Tuesday, Jim's parents came in on Wednesday, Eric and Michelle drove up on Thursday and Kristen, Enrique and Alec flew in on the Thanksgiving Day! We were also joined by Mike's dad who is turning 91 this year and his wife Marge. It was so much fun hosting and thank you all for a wonderful weekend! Here are a few shots from the weekend.
