Happy Thanksgiving!

I know last time I said I was going to be better about posting, but here I am again months later with no posts. My resolution is to not make any promises (which means I'll probably end up posting more often). With that said, I wanted to wish everyone a super happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful to have so many wonderful friends (whom I love to keep up with through their blogs since I'm so bad about emailing).

Since we spent the past year traveling to so many different weddings and family events (I've seen my family more this year than I have any year since high school), Stu and I decided to have a quiet little holiday in Boston with the added bonus of having almost a week to play in the city instead of just a quick little weekend. We made it a sports-filled weekend including a Friday night Celtics game against the 76ers (Stu's first time in the Garden), a rainy but super fun Patriots game against the Steelers Sunday night (both of our firsts in Gillette Stadium), and watched plenty of football on TV (does it count if he fell asleep during every game except the Vikings/Bears on Sunday night?). Thanksgiving Day we volunteered at the Animal Rescue League feeding the over 100 cats and kittens and cleaning some cages before coming home to a dinner of turkey rolled in Stu's Uncle Jim's stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry jelly, croissants (with blueberry jelly from Mom in Michigan), and of course, green bean casserole. It was just the two of us for dinner, but we made it in 2 hours and devoured it and the leftovers for the next 4 days. Green bean casserole usually requires a 2nd batch, but somehow we survived on 1 - stuffing though required a 2nd batch as did the gravy. Thanksgiving is almost complete with green bean casserole but not without banana jumbos (banana bread cookies with buttercream frosting), so in between football timeouts, we managed to bake up a batch of cookies and some banana bread. Next up with the rest of the turkey leftovers (the only thing left from the feast)...turkey tetrazzini, mmm.

I would say stay tuned for some pictures, but I promised I would make no promises...
