Thank God for Wedding gifts




This past Thursday marked a couple of first's for me and Chris. It was our first Thanksgiving where it was okay to have the temperature over 65 degrees and it was also our first hosting either of our parents. Most importantly of all, it was the first time for us to use most of our wedding presents. For months during the spring boxes would show up each day at our house, Chris would un-pack them, and I would say "seriously, when do you think we are going to use 3 Carafe's?" Boy was I wrong in doubting the need for multiples of the same housewares.

Thanksgiving day was great, there were plenty of Bloody Mary's, Wine and great food. Chris got a tutorial in how to cook a Turkey, what it would take to fix our Rabbit wine opening and how to make a Castellani favorite, Ping(stuffing). As usual, we all managed to eat too much and then fall asleep early. All in all, it was great to celebrate Thanksgiving in our tiny apartment by the beach.
