Because I have been given much.

In my countdown to Thanksgiving post, I mentioned some of the things that we are grateful for.  The lyrics at the beginning of the post are from a song that Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney sing in White Christmas (My FAVORITE holiday movie).
Our Thanksgiving was spent surrounded by family and friends. My wonderful Hubs, Mr B secretly flew my Brother, his wife, their baby and their very close friend out here to Long Beach from Buffalo, NY where they moved a year ago. Maga and Tutu made it out there to visit this past summer but aside from Facebook and cell phone pics, we hadn't seen them in SUCH a long time.
Needless to say, we were thrilled to have them here with us for 5 days! Here are some pictures of our fabulous Holiday!
 SO surprised to find Keola, Amanda, Anthony and Michael posed in the garage at midnight! Bad weather delayed their flight in Detroit so instead of a 6pm arrival, their plane didn't land until10ish. We had a heck of a time keeping up for seemingly no reason but were over the moon when that "no reason" turned out to be our wonderful family! THANK YOU HUBS!!
How cute are HeaBug and AnthonyMan? He's so tall, they're the same size and she's six months older! They had such fun together.
 Beautiful setting for a YUMMY dinner!
 My Thanksgiving Day team (some of them anyway, so not opposed to a kitchen FULL of helpers)! Stuffing in the Le Creuset, Beautiful 21 pound bird slathered in truffle butter, olive oil and herbs de provence, Gravy and Breezer's delicious last minute pumpkin pies!
Dinner for 30... including 6 mish who serenaded us with Because I Have Been Given Much, one of my faves! (Riddoch, JuiceBox, Reece, Klein, Serrano and Roberts)
