My First Thanksgiving!!!



I must first explain how this all came to be. My dear sweet father was joking around with Lance and I one night. He made the comment that if we were in a new home by thanksgiving, that it should be at our house. And thinking that would never happen because I am not one of the OG Nelsons, I was not concerned with this at all. Well we were blessed with a beautiful home before the holiday, and the joke had spread to other family members. These family members happen to be my Aunts, they thought it was a fabulous idea too!!!! So, what the heck right?..... I'm 31, have plenty of room, and lots of family, and good at delegating!!! So the planning of the feast began. I made the assignments to ALL the Liu family, who was coming also because this is MY thanksgiving at my house, and all the Nelsons had theirs too. I must tell you that I was really excited to have ALL of my family coming to my home, and that I didn't have to split my day up. But my greatest fear was cooking a turkey. This is no small feat to me. I was kinda freaking out. I looked on-line to get all the cooking tips possible. You don't want to be known for screwing up the turkey. Turns out its not really that hard. It turned out fine. We had a wonderful time. The fam was great. Every one brought stuff, and there was a plethora of food!!!! I think we had about 50 people at the house, and it was great!!!! And I know that my Mom's and Nola were thrilled not to have it at there house. I am so thankful for my families. And I still have 6 pies in the fridge!!! It's time to get rid of the left-overs.

Hey Sheri, we moved over by Seastrand park. Not to far from where we were, but we love it, and are enjoying it a ton.

I STILL can't believe you went along with it. I would have had a total panic attack. You must have been born with your mother's party hosting skills. I heard it was a blast and that you did a fabulous job. BRAVO!!! Holy cow.

The paint looks great! I can't wait to see it in person!
