Although I missed my family very much, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my dear friends who kindly included me in their day!
We started the holiday with a wonderful brunch.
The highlight of the brunch was homeade cinnamon rolls with a rare treat-cream cheese frosting!
15 month old Will saying "please" for the cinnamon rolls. He loved them.
Later in the day, we traveled over to some friends' house to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with them. We were so thankful for the time we got to spend with them and two local families! Anna and Katie were posing here in front of the treats we took with us: applesauce, corn, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and brownie with peanut butter.
This was my first time to try pumpkin pie!
You can see my students keep my days exciting and fun!

This picture is actually from today-Scott's bouquet to Wendy on their anniversary. And yes, it really is bigger than Will! Happy anniversary, Scott and Wendy!
