A Connolly Thanksgiving

This year our Thanksgiving was spent in Medford at Sean's moms house. We went over in the morning to watch the Macy's parade, relax, drink hot cocoa, and eat homemade apple turnovers. Then, after a small lunch, Sean and I worked on preparing the side dishes we were contributing to the meal: Vanilla Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Cranberry Sauce. When Declan woke up from his nap, we took a lovely, crisp, fall walk, returning just in time to sit down for the meal. Sean's brother Paul joined us as well and we all had a wonderful time together.

Even though I thank God every day for all the blessings He graces me with, it is so nice to spend one day focused on thankfulness.
