A Day of Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We have a lot to be thankful for this year - our family and friends, our health, and most of all...Riley!! Even though we would have liked to be with our family this year we hate traveling during Thanksgiving because of all of the traffic so we stayed in Alhambra once again. Riley decided to start off Thanksgiving with a treat for mom and dad by sleeping eight hours last night. We had a nice relaxing morning with a pancake breakfast and then the cooking began. Jon came over to join us for dinner and to celebrate Thanksgiving. We decided to forgo the turkey this year and try something else....on the menu for today was: horseradish and salt crusted prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread stuffing, brioche bread, and of course, dessert - cherry cream pie. Everything came out great, the boys demolished the prime rib, and then relaxed in front of the tv to watch Ben's trip to Africa movie.
