Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you all had a fantastic turkey day this year! We are so thankful -- God has blessed us with so much this year! Luke's parents were able to come and spend the holiday with us. We kicked off the holiday season with the tree lighting ceremony in downtown Chicago and spent most of the holiday break eating leftovers, leftovers, and more leftovers. It's been a great time of relaxation and rest for my last two weeks of graduate school! Here are some photos from this weekend...

Mr. Luke. He is very excited.

We even ran into Mayor Emanuel, and got to shake his hand!

Waiting for the festivities to begin...

The lights are on! Merry Christmas!

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner in our itsy bitsy kitchen. Luke was in charge of the mashed potatoes... and I was in charge of everything else.

Thanksgiving dinner, coffee table style. We have a pretty tiny apartment, so we had to do some rearranging for dinner. We put the Thanksgiving spread out on the coffee table to dish up and moved the dining room table to the middle of the room so we could all fit around it. It was delicious and I couldn't have done it without my mother-in-law, Lisa. Thanks so much!! I now have TWO Thanksgiving meals under my belt.
