Giving Thanks

Michelle and Austin hosted Thanksgiving dinner at their place last night...and what a dinner it was!  Two kinds of turkey (oven roasted and rotisserie), salad, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, stuffed potatoes, madelines, cranberry sauce, coconut rice, and pumpkin pie...WOW. Not only was the food AMAZING, but we got the opportunity to come together once again to share in this truly special tradition with family and long-time friends. As we were sitting around Michelle's gorgeous and very festive table, listening to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble, and Chris Botti (to name a few), I was observing everyone chatting and sharing and laughing until tears came out of their eyes, and I was overwhelmed with the feeling that the things that really and truly matter in this world are so simple, so basic, and at their very core are the only things you need to be really happy. 

By the way...Tia Cuchi...we tried to call you several times and didn't reach you, so we assumed you were out on the town in Guadalajara celebrating your birthday. Hope you had a good one!

I want to say thanks to our hosts, Michelle and Austin, for making it such a special Thanksgiving. Mom would have been SO proud of you guys!  Pictures here.
