Being the Borquez's: Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with all of the family at Aunt Shane's house. We had such a great time. It seems like just a few months ago that Chris's brothers spent Thanksgiving with us last year. It's hard to believe that it's the end of November all over again. We all have so much much to be Thankful for this year. I love each and every member of my family with all of my heart and consider myself very blessed to be able to share yet another holiday with my entire family. I was also so happy that Chris was off yesterday. His new schedule at the railroad is quite varied and we almost knew he would have to work but were pleasantly suprised when he was off with us! We are also so very grateful that Kal-el is back to his superhero self and has fully recuperated from his mean virus.
The food was way too yummy and there was waay too much of it! I made a Chicken Divine casserole that was quite the hit. If you know me you know I'm rarely in the kitchen so the fact that people actually enjoyed what I made was a delightful treat! :) Zach and Lee Lee brought some wonderful asparagus. The eat from an all vegan menu so it's always interesting to see what they like and take a part in it. Jon- Thomas was also able to join in the festivities this year . I don't get to see him very often so it was a nice suprise. There was only one low point of the entire night. Kal-el took a tumble, landed right on the wood floor, face first, and busted his little lip :( All the women had a complete come apart from seeing the blood and I paced the floor over and over and asked repeatedly if stitches were needed. Luckily the bleeding stopped very quickly and after a little love tough man was running wide open all over again despite my constant cringing lol! After we devoured our mini feast we wrapped up the night with some card games. Great fun. Great family! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
