Thanksgiving was a huge success. It always is--it's my favorite holiday of the year. It's a time for me to reflect on what a sweet, charmed life I live.
Hannah, Sarah, and I were joined at the 646 by Sarah's parents and her aunt and uncle, Judy and Joe, who made the 6-hour round trip from Clover, S.C. In keeping with tradition, they had to drive through torrential rain and get stopped in bumper to bumper traffic on the way here. Still, they arrived safe and unscathed (a good thing too, since they brought the sweet potatoes and lemon pound cake!)
Despite the rough treatment Mother Nature gave Joe and Judy, it was a beautiful day here in Athens, affording us the chance to take the oh-so-important pre-dessert walk.
Let's let the pics tell the tale!

| Our friend Brittan came by to meet the littlest Simpson. She never fails to swing by when she's in town |
 |
| What would you caption this one? |
 |
| Joe and Judy take in as much Hannah as they can |
 |
| "What? You mean I have three grandmas?" |
 |
| Keeper, ever vigilant, kept an eye on the neighborhood. |
 |
| Dinner, after we got through with it. Note the beautiful cutting board Uncle Joe made. Yes, made! |
|
 |
| The walk: 4 ladies, 1 guy, and 1 cat? |
 |
| The payoff! Apple-Cranberry pie, Homemade mincemeat pie, and lemon pound cake. The zinnias are from our cutting garden. | |

 |
| Enough said. |
