We spent Thanksgiving in the city this year with our friends the Koellings, Hardings, and Alexa.
Thursday morning Johnny and I headed to Central Park so he could participate in the church turkey bowl. While he played, I jogged around the reservoir in Central Park. We were both famished and exhausted by the time we made it home.
I went home a bit before Johnny so I could start making the rolls and corn pudding, which I tried to time perfectly so that they would be fresh out of the oven when we made our trek to the Koellings at 2:00pm.
All the girls split the cooking responsibilities, and it was so fun to converge with all our yummy food.

After we ate, we all took a quiz to test our knowledge about Thanksgiving. I was kind of skeptical of doing such a thing (52 questions!), but it ended up being a lot of fun!

After the quiz, we played Catch Phrase, which was super entertaining, and then we all just talked and had a good time together.

Overall, this Thanksgiving will probably end up being one of our most memorable!

This truly was such a great Thanksgiving. Thanks so much to going to all the effort of baking all your yummy dishes and planning it!
It looks like you had so much fun! I must say that we missed you, but I'm so glad you have such cute friends in New York!

larrrrved it!! although i wish we could have been together. i loved the picture of you and johnny playing catch phrase. definitely my favorite.
It's posts like these that I fail to mention my blog, Joanna! Cute Thanksgiving dinners with Rachael Ray recipes and jogs in Central Park versus sledding disasters and fear of heights. I feel too inferior!
You are just too picturesque. All you need now are dialogue/thought bubbles or captions, and this is ready to publish! :)
