Thanksgiving

Sara and I had the pleasure of hosting my family in Dallas for Thanksgiving this year.  Mom, Dad and Abe flew in Thanksgiving morning from Atlanta.  As soon as they arrived, we jumped straight into Thanksgiving meal cooking.  This was our first time hosting a Thanksgiving meal so a lot of preparation went into it.  I decided to grill our turkey and Sara did most of the other cooking.  She prepared mashed potatoes, corn casserole, green bean casserole, cranberries, and stuffing.  Mom helped with the sweet potato casserole.  The McAuleys were in town visiting Matt as well so they came over to our place to partake in the meal.  Everything went off without a hitch and all of us Tennessee transplants enjoyed a fantastic meal together.  Thanks to Sara, Mom, and Susan for all the incredible food.


Friday night, Sara, Dad, Abe and I went to the Stars vs. Blackhawks game at the American Airlines Center.  Another win for our Blackhawks over the Stars...


Saturday morning, we went to play some golf at Stevens Parks Golf Course and spend the rest of the day visiting relatives and friends...


Sunday morning we went to church at Watermark and then went to the Bishop Arts District to enjoy some Texas BBQ at Lockhart's.  Abe had to head back to Atlanta Sunday evening to go back to work on Monday.


After Sara and I had to go back to work on Monday, Mom and Pop continued their exploration of Dallas visiting Klyde Warren Park, White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, and friends all of the place.  We got lucky with almost perfect North Texas weather while they were in town with temperatures in the 60's and 70's.


We were very blessed to have family come to town and spend Thanksgiving with us.  We will welcome any and all visitors with open arms...we have plenty of space!
