We had such a nice Thanksgiving day. Everything was perfect. Irving’s my mom worked so hard making sure everything was perfect! 

Before we ate, we showed his family our wedding album (my east coast family: You’ll see it soon at Christmas!)

We set the table, complete with a bottle of Sparkling Wine  we bought in St. Petersburg, Russia. 

Cheers!

Let the Feasting Begin!


The spread! 

That’s my sweet potato pie in the background! OMG SOOO Good!!! It’s my aunt Donna’s recipe and it is just SO good. 


My plate…. and then I went back for some seconds on the veggies! (I even tried stuffing and cranberry sauce for the first time! I thought I didn’t like either…. but they were fantastic!)

Our first Married Thanksgiving!!

Then it was dessert time! 

My favorites: Coconut Macaroons and Fudge Brownies!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year, I have a lot to be Thankful for! Top of the list this year includes:

 

1.) My marriage! I am so thankful to have married my best friend this year in the wedding of my dreams. I feel so lucky to have Irving in my life. We laugh everyday, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! (I promise a wedding recap with pictures soon!)

2.) My family! (Both of them!) Even though I’m far away from everyone, since we live in Los Angeles, I am so thankful to be a part of both families! They’ve always been so supportive of Irving and I. And on July 11th, our family became bigger! I’m so excited to have Irving’s mom coming home with us for Christmas this year. We’re so lucky! (And I love having three sisters now too!)

3.) My Friends! Sometimes people think it’s crazy that I’m still friends with my group from high school, but they are the best friends anyone could ask for! Of course I love my friends I’ve met since high school, but I’m thankful for all of my friendships that have stood the test of time.

A few of these girls I’ve known since I was 3!

4.) Running!!! I am so thankful to be healthy enough to allow my body to run! Each full breath of air I take when I’m pounding out miles reminds me of my health (which I will never take for granted)! I am so excited to be training for the Boston Marathon this year! Show your support here!

Happy Thanksgiving!

(What are you thankful for?)

One day, we took a side trip to the Grand Canyon. It was only about three hours from Sedona, and totally worth the drive. Pictures speak louder than words… so here they are!

On the drive there, we pulled over to watch a Deer that was on the side of the road!
