Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving Day with several families from our former ward, also their former ward since the Arlington ward's recent split.  We all {Menzies, Balmforths, Romanos, Sweeney's, Whites, & a few other friends of the LaP's new ward} converged on the LaPierre home for a late afternoon Thanksgiving feast.  I didn't take a head count, but it was a nice, large, fun crowd.  It was so nice to spend several hours together visiting, relaxing, dining, playing games, searching Black Friday ads, watching "Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving," and enjoying our time together.  I forgot my camera, but snapped a few pics with Allison's camera.  Somehow Caroline evaded the camera, so she's quoted on our "Thanksgiving" page, along with a family favorite recipe that is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe.  I'm sure our version wouldn't qualify for the magazine...they skimped on the marshmallows!

Seeing those familiar faces makes me so homesick for Boston. Wish we could have been there! It looks like a ton of fun. Please tell everyone hello from me, especially Michelle Romano.
