We had a great time in Washington for Thanksgiving. We did get to go to Forks & LaPush on Friday. Instead of shopping I was looking for Edward! :)
It was great being with everyone. We had a table that sat 24 and every seat was filled. What an amazing holiday. Thanks mom & dad! Time went so fast we did a little shopping on base and then off to the airport early Sunday morning to come home. Now I need to get ready for Christmas. After my benefit dinner on Friday I will get the house all decorated and festive.
