Thankful for Thanksgiving!

We are so thankful for Thanksgiving this year. Not only were we able to spend it together in our new hometown, but we were able to share our blessings with family and friends!

I was so grateful to have most of my immediate family join us for the big day. My parents drove down from Washington on Wednesday and my youngest brother, Erik, flew in on Thursday morning. Unfortunately, my other brother, Tim, was unable to leave NY and we all missed him terribly.

While the family was in town, we took them sight-seeing around El Paso and Ft. Bliss and even showed them the "mighty" Rio Grande. Despite my father's best efforts, we did NOT tour Juarez, Mexico ... even if we had the ability to be armed to the teeth! We were also able (thanks to our wonderful Realtor) to take them on a tour of our soon-to-be new house!

For the big day, Cam invited a few of the single 2nd Lt in his class for dinner. They, in turn, invited a few more friends, so we had a packed house for dinner. It ended up that we had PLENTY of food and no one went hungry! We even sent leftovers home with the visiting 2nd Lts.

We had a marvelous, if uber-casual and slightly cramped, Thanksgiving! Hope all of you were as lucky as us and able to enjoy the holiday with those you love! Happy Belated Turkey Day!
