Thanksgiving 2012

We had a busy Thanksgiving day this year! We started off the morning with breakfast at a friend's house on base. Since the football games start early here (the first game was at 7am on Thanksgiving) one of the families hosted a breakfast/football party to start the gluttonous holiday off right :-)

We then headed back to our house so Noah could nap and I could start cooking our contributions to our Thanksgiving meal. I also made sweet potatoes for the 22 single sailors that are stationed here. I know a few single ladies that would be willing to volunteer to come help with this next year ;-) But just a heads up, ladies, most of them are 18-year-olds fresh out of high school...haha.

After nap time, we drove to another friend's house in Kalaheo for a Thanksgiving meal with Danny and Andrea, who got to Barking Sands two weeks before we did, and Tim, a single guy who arrived a few months ago (he's actually single and above drinking age so he would actually be a potential candidate if someone were looking for a naval aviator...Ashley??? ;-) It was a pretty low key meal, with Noah providing most of the entertainment, especially since none of the others have kids!

Noah was ready to chow down!
