Let Us Give Thanks

We spent Thanksgiving in New York again this year.  Wednesday night we went to a nice dinner at Aturo’s,  The food is so delicious I wish I could box up the restaurant and plant it right here in Midlothian.  Alas, I cannot.  Preston enjoying his meal! And after dinner, in true New Yorker fashion, Pres hailed us a cab.

Another year…another parade.  Preston of course, thinking he owns the city, pushed his way right to the front of the barricades again this year.  Minus a minor “snafu” with a woman who definitely believed she owned the City, the parade was a success.  The weather was amazing-more April than November.  Mom, Dad, Pres and I met up with Jason, Erin-Kate and their two kids, Mya and Collin.  If you recall, Jay and I have been friends since 1992.  It’s always a blast seeing them!

We had hors de oeuvres at my parents’ apartment before heading out to dinner.  It was the first year we ate Thanksgiving out of the home.  It kind of was a nice break from cooking and cleaning.  The meal was delicious and we went back to the apartment for dessert.

FIRST!

The pictures from your iPhone at the parade really came out crystal clear. Such great quality. Thanksgiving was definitely a lot of fun and as per usual, I went home overly full!

That dessert table looks FABULOUS! I want to jump right in and eat some! Going out is way better than cooking! You are so right no clean-up! I hosted Thanksgiving this year and I had it catered by Zorns! It was exactly the usual Thanksgiving dinner but no mess! Woohoo! And since I am new to the blogging world and everyone's life can I say this ...... How about you and Jay? Just a thought! If not, it seems as though you have a nice friend. Xoxo
