Thanksgiving. 2009.

This year at Thanksgiving, I wanted to try something different with pictures. I wanted the pictures to make you feel like you were actually there, right there in the middle of it all. Natural and real.

We had a small Thanksgiving at my parents house in Richfield. Two of my brothers, my parents, my Grandma & Grandpa & Uncle Kevin were there. It was nice. The food was magnificient, but I think what was SO NICE about it, was that I didn't have to cook. Nope, not a single thing. Last year, Andrew & I decided to try to make EVERYTHING , this year we didn't have to make ANYTHING. There's never just a simple middle ground for us, I swear.

Thanks, Mom. And thanks, Grandma. There was SO MUCH food and it was delightful.

It turned out to be just about perfect, I thought. Jaxon decided to take a nap while we ate, Andrew stuffed his face because who knows when we'd ever see that much good food again, and I sat, content, with my camera in one hand, fork in the other. Perfect.

So, here are about 2500 pictures, give or take. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!
