Thanksgiving 2008







Here are a couple of pictures from Thanksgiving. We hosted Dan's father and 2 sisters. We had to get new linens b/c we only had service for 4. All of the plates, silverware and glasses are ours that we never used and now we have this beautiful setting for 5 or 6. I picked out the napkin rings and Dan did the rest. Ya know, he gets mad when I call him "My little Clinton" but then he wants to brag about how he matched all of our linens. Men!
I luckily had Friday off. All though, I didn't go to work all week b/c I got a really bad cold which I thought was strep. Turned out no strep but a nasty cold. I almost lost my voice at the NIN concert on Wednesday night. It was AWESOME!! Our favorite band. Well, I'm sure I'll be talking to family soon. I was actually in bed right after people left on Thursday. I was beat. Doing round 2 of the dishes today kicked my butt as well. I'll be good to go back to work on Monday... boo! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

P.S. The turkey in a brine this year was excellent! Watch "Good Eats: Romancing the Bird" and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Your table settings and turkey look gorgeous. Very classy! I think I have that same tablecloth.

Kitty took my word, "classy," Gorgeous table, elegant, understated and really beautiful. I also like the presentation for the turkey. Oh, you two sophisticates!

And that's a nice shot of the family. The older sister is so much prettier when there's not so much black on her face!

I HEART brined turkey!!!! It's the BEST kind I've had. Love Alton.

I also really like your table! Very shee-shee. I know there's a better way to spell that, but oh well. The squarish plates go nicely with that cool silverware. =)

Glad you had fun at the concert. Did you transform into a 13 year old girl though? I think not..... Haha.

If only the five of you were at Thanksgiving dinner, who took the picture? Table/dinner looks great. Hope it was a wonderful holiday!
