This Thanksgiving we had two occasions to celebrate... Turkey Day of course and then Marty and Cliff were hosting a party for Ry and I to introduce us to all of their Sacramento friends that couldn't make it to our wedding! We started off with Marty's traditional Thanksgiving dinner... 
Look at that Turkey! It was scrumptious and we all had a good time being together... we are so thankful for all of God's blessings and we prayed that Ry be safe while deployed in Okinawa.
On Friday, Ry and I decided to take a little day trip to Napa... I just love it there, so clam and beautiful. We tasted champagne at Domaine Chandon and then had lunch, it was a gorgeous day to be outside!
Saturday morning the preparations began for the party... we were all given tasks and Ry had to take care of the broken light circuit... amidst searching for parts, he found this hat and moose slippers and as we were all working hard he kept going around and asking everyone "Did you forget about me?" Yes, my husband is hilarious.
By 5pm it was time to get all dressed up! Everything was all set for the guests to arrive and we took lots of family pictures since Paw Paw and Aunt Harriette were in town.
Cliff and Marty did an amazing job hosting our party... they are so sweet to do this for us. We had a great time meeting all of their dear friends and finally putting faces with names we've heard so much about!
Marty had her caterer cook food for the party... everything was delicious and the table looked beautiful! It was a fun and special night, we felt so honored. Sunday was clean up and then it was time to head back home... it will be hard to be back at work after a nice long weekend and I am sad that Ry will be leaving for Okinawa soon... I'm trying really hard not to think about it but it keeps creeping up on me... I have to enjoy every minute that I can with him!
