Our most thankful Thanksgiving

Our fourth married Thanksgiving was the first that we actually got to spend together, and we didn't take a second for granted. After dropping Molly off at camp, we drove up to PA on Tuesday. It "only" took 13 hours of fighting construction and traffic to make it to the Najdawi home in Bryn Mawr - not bad compared to last year's 30 hour-long nightmare!

We got to catch up with old friends on Wednesday night, and unwind before the festivities began.



We enjoyed Thanksgiving brunch with Matt's family. Matt hadn't seen his mother or grandparents since June 2006, or Scott since Christmas 2005. Heather (who was only a year old when we went on our first date - how time flies!) is now a teenager and a very sweet lady. We also got to meet Scott's new fiancee, Vicki, and look forward to attending their wedding in a few short months.



We went straight from the Miller brunch to Thanksgiving dinner with Bana's family. Almost 30 members of the extended family converged for great food and a rowdy game of Trivial Pursuit.



We took advantage of King of Prussia's proximity to enjoy some Black Friday sales before heading back south on Saturday. En route, we stopped in Virginia to visit Barry and Jan. They treated us to a delicious seafood lunch and gave us a personalized tour of Langley Air Force Base. We also visited the William & Mary campus and scoped out the real estate options if that's where we end up moving.



All in all, a fabulous Thanksgiving! We could not have asked for more.
