Thanksgiving 2010

Our first big holiday on the west coast, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't different out here then back east.  The weather, of course, is a bit of a change, but luckily Thursday was a chilly day (for California) which helped it feel a little more like late November.  The biggest difference was the fact that we couldn't load everyone up in the car and drive 6 hours to be with family.  (I remember when that 6 hours seemed like such a long drive!) While the Navy has kept us away from our families this year, it has also brought us some wonderful life long friends with whom we can share the special day.  The Shepards joined us for turkey day this year, and we had a blast.  With four kids ages 4 and under, it was a bit chaotic at times, but we are so thankful that we were able to create those memories together.
