Thanksgiving...McPherson style

It was just us four in sunny California this year. My kids actually have no memory of us not being with other members of the family for Thanksgiving, so it was definetely a different experience. I was a little leary because I love being with ALL of my family for the holiday, but we ended up having a fantastic time. We started our day off with a movie! We went with our great friends, the Olsons, and saw Megamind. It was hilarious, I actually gutt-laughed a number of times. I'm pretty sure the adults thought it was funnier than the kids, but we all really liked it. Then we went home and relaxed and played games for a bit before we got to cooking. Darrin made an absolutely delicious turkey and of course we had potatoes, stuffing, corn, gravy and rolls. The kids wanted to have a "fancy" dinner, which basically just means putting a tablecloth out and drinking out of goblets. We really enjoyed spending the day with just our family and look forward to doing it again in the (hopefully distant) future!
