Thanksgiving through the years....

Thanksgiving has always been a favorite time of year.  It marks the start of the holiday season: lots of food, family, etc.

Craig and I have not had a "traditional" Thanksgiving quite yet.  But all three years have been amazing!  All for different reasons....

First Thanksgiving together:

We were married the weekend before Thanksgiving (Happy 2 year anniversary!!), so Thanksgiving was spent in Santa Fe on our honeymoon.  It was one of the most memorable Thanksgivings ever, including a rotisserie chicken in place of a turkey, and a modest little meal that we whipped up in the kitchen where we were staying.

Thanksgiving number 2:

We were in Sao Paulo, Brazil, while Craig was completing an internship.  Thanksgiving isn't even a holiday there, but an American who was staying in the same hotel as we were invited us and the other intern to go to dinner with him.  We went to a place called "The View."

And while it wasn't the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, it was a memorable Thanksgiving because we were in such a new place. (And the restaurant held up to it's name...the view was incredible!)

Thanksgiving number 3:

This year for Thanksgiving, we decided for an Anniversary trip/last trip before baby comes that we should wanted to take advantage of the time we had off of work and school, so we flew down to Houston, and spent Thanksgiving with Craig's sister and her husband.  We had a great time!  We actually got to eat a regular Thanksgiving meal, and it was delicious!  We were grateful to be able to spend the Holiday with some family, but were also grateful to be able to spend some time together and take a break before the baby comes.

We will see what next Thanksgiving will bring!
