Life // Thanksgiving 2012

Ah, Thanksgiving. As I’ve declared before, this is my favorite holiday. For the last three years, I’ve gathered with my Los Angeles family of friends to celebrate this glorious day. There are color-coded oven schedules, “thankful for” posters, tons of delicious food, and a lot laughter. This year was certainly no exception. Corelyn and Melissa led the troops in preparing an amazing meal. In keeping with last year’s new tradition, I made a hap-hazard photo station, providing the opportunity for a lot of giggling and silly pictures. Here are snapshots from this year’s fun – be prepared for some ridiculous facial expressions/props!
Two key players were missing this year, so I printed this high quality photo to include them in the festivities. Also, today is Jen’s birthday!! Happy birthday! I hope you don’t make any of these sad faces today…!I made George re-create this awesome gleeful face from last year…
I am so very grateful for this wonderful group of loved ones, who enthusiastically go along with all of my antics and who bring such joy to my life on such a daily basis. I’m thankful for my family and friends on the east coast, who are with me in spirit even when we’re so far apart. I’m also thankful for the changes this year has brought – for keeping me positive, and for giving me the opportunity to pursue my dream. I’m very lucky.
