First Things First - Thanksgiving Weekend

We have been so busy since Thanksgiving that I haven't posted pics from the Thanksgiving weekend. Funny how I love Thanksgiving and being with my family and eating tons of food, but I have no pictures of my family all together being thankful. Unless you count the picture of me and Ben below - him probably thankful that he made it to age 21 and me thankful that at point in time, I did not realize that I was about an hour away from puking my guts out. Yes, I am 32 years old. Nonetheless, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my hubby and family. I can't believe Christmas is almost here and these pics are so late....call me Alyssa and pretend this is Thanksgiving 2006. ha- kidding, Alyssa! :)
Friend from high school, Scott, and his fiancee Carolyn.

me and Ben. Ben is now legally allowed to troll bars and consume booze, although I think he should study hard instead!

Tim, me and Emily -- high school friends...and Tim and I went to U of I and law school together, too.

Alyssa, me, Em and Jilly. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving usually turns out to be a class reunion of sorts....

Doug, Tessa (Tim's baby sister, but she's not a baby anymore), and Tim

Em, me, Luke and Julie. I was so happy I got to see Julie and Luke! I hope to see you guys before next Thanksgiving. And meet your gorgeous, long eye-lashed heartbreaker, too!

Aw yeah! Preview of what's to come on December 26.....................
