Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Growing up, I always looked forward to getting together with my family and enjoying a wonderful meal. Since our move to Italy, neither Michael nor I have been able to have Thanksgiving with our families. But this year, my sister and brother-in-law drove out to visit from NC and made this Thanksgiving the most memorable one yet!
They arrived on Monday, about an hour before it was time to take Jericho to school, so they came along with us to drop him off. He got to show them his classroom and they got to meet his teacher, Mrs. Kelly.
Over the course of the week, they cooked meals I never would've been able to make. We drove through the Wildlife Refuge and to the top of Mt. Scott. They provided extra arms for Juliana and conversation for Jericho. They were great company for me, especially on Thanksgiving Day because Michael had CQ and would not be home. For Thanksgiving dinner, we kept a tradition that Michael and I have done since we got married - a boneless roast turkey in the rotisserie. Of course, we made all the fixin's to go with it, and it made for a really nice time. We were sad to see them go back home.
How was your Thanksgiving?
It was wonderful. I've got to blog about it, but we spent it in D.C. with some great friends. It was so relaxing!
