blissful oblivion


We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Friday rather than Thursday. It's amazing how it still felt like a holiday. No "black Friday" sale hopping for us. We were in blissful oblivion and had a wonderful feast together. (click on photo for larger view.)

When we passed our plates for turkey, we found letters of the alphabet tucked under our plates. As we ate, we took turns telling things we were thankful for that began with those letters.

  14. Your photos of Thanksgving make it look so warm and happy. I think having dinner on black Friday instead of going shopping is a great idea.
