Thanksgiving

Another year of thanks celebrated by just Chelsea and James. We miss our families but we are thankful for each other and for delicious food. This year our Thanksgiving spread looked more visually appealing than last year's. We also knew we'd be content with a rotisserie chicken rather than going to all the work to make an extravagant turkey. Last year we cooked two cornish hens...we are glad we had the chicken this year even though we missed the taste of turkey. Feast your eyes on our second Thanksgiving together.

Thankful for each other.

 So excited to eat!

Delicious spice cookies with cream cheese frosting I remember Mom making. After I made these I asked James if he liked them. His response: "They're good." I'm thinking, that's it? They're good? How about, "They're SOOOOOO good. Great Thanksgiving dessert Chels! They are delicious!" I mention this to him, he just laughs, and goes on doing what he's doing. About 5 minutes later, "These cookies are soooo goood I wanna die!" Bahaha thanks babe, thanks. 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Dare we brave the crowds at 11:00 tonight? We will see.
