Thanksgiving 2010.

I love Thanksgiving!  It has always been my favorite holiday.  I love the food, the family, the focus on gratitude and the lack of commercialization.  It’s a perfect holiday!  Brian and I think we will try to go to Fairfield every Thanksgiving and stay here in Troutdale every Christmas.  We’ll see how that works. 

This year was great!  My brother was home from traveling through Egypt and Europe for the good part of 2010 and I was just starting to feel a little better.  I ate most of the weight back I had lost during the first part of my pregnancy.

One of the days we went on a fun excursion to the outskirts of San Francisco to see the light house at Point Bonita.  It was a nice walk up to the bridge that crosses over to the lighthouse.  The bridge was closed for repairs, but we could still see a good view of the lighthouse.

Such a fun day! 

Another day we went to the Jelly Belly Factory—actually we went twice.  We like that place!

  1. Thanksgiving is Ray's favorite holiday. He likes it better than Christmas, because it really focuses on the family.
