I’m hoping that the entire holiday season goes as smoothly as our Thanksgiving did. Kate flew in from San Diego and made it here safely, although Alaska temporarily lost one of her bags. So she joined us along with Amanda, my mom and our friends Noella, Roy and their two kids Justin and Julia. This was the first time we’ve entertained this many people at once since we sold our large dining room table when we moved from Ohio, but in the end Costco came through (A table cloth over a couple of folding tables doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would).

Erin bought a 22 lb turkey from Whole Foods and it was delicious! Kate’s flight didn’t get in until 3PM, so we opted for a late dinner and it is probably a good thing too, because we were all ready to crash by 9PM.

This morning, we woke up early and drove into Seattle to watch the Macy’s holiday parade. The kids didn’t make it through the entire parade, but I’m glad we attempted it. Nathan even gave us a rare unprompted thank you on the way home which made it so worth it.
