Thanksgiving 2011

Last night Brendan and I stood with ten friends and family members, held hands around the incredible feast we were moments away from tucking into, and each of us spent a few moments verbalizing the things we gave thanks for this year. I love this tradition. I am, as always, so thankful for health and happiness, the many people whom I love and who love me in return, beautiful sights and sounds, delicious food, and a partner who is really just so dadgum wonderful. This year Brendan and I gave an extra special thankfulness shout-out for the house we bought this week! We are (soon to be) the proud owners of the lovely Victorian cottage we had been living in since our arrival in Cape Town last year. We move back in next May upon our return from our three month South American adventure.  The universe is smiling upon us in a big way.

In the mean time, here are some Thanksgiving highlights. We had a grand ol' party and I'm so thankful to everyone who made it possible (and to the dishwasher for handling the bulk of the clean up)!
