This year I felt very grateful to spend Thanksgiving with friends. For about a month I've been feeling especially homesick for Mesa and Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in Dixon family traditions that I love. Having guests for dinner (and feasting on some of my mom's classic recipes) made me feel less lonely!
I was so wrapped up in food preparation that I forgot to take the pictures I had planned on, and I ran out of time and didn't set the gorgeous table I had planned. But the fun guests and yummy food made up for the lack.
Tyler, Sam, Matt, Karlie, Gavin, Garry

Melanie and me
A greeting from Gavin
I hope you and yours enjoyed a delightful Thanksgiving, too!

I was making a comment to Dylan as I was setting a very plain table today. I was lamenting the fact that I'm just not good at decorating, nor centerpieces. I'm just not like most women. He looked at me and said: "You know what centerpieces are for, don't you?" I asked him what. He said: "For getting in the way." Made me feel better immediately.
Joanne, tell Dylan David and I both got a good laugh out of that one! Getting in the way, indeed.
Heidi, it looks like you guys had fun. And your mom's recipes are definitely like a hefty helping of "home", aren't they? It took me years to learn to like turkey dressing but now I can't be without it!
thanks for sharing the pictures! I'm glad you could be with friends. We missed you though. And we had plenty of food for you. Plenty.
I am so behind on reading your blog. I have been banning myself from the computer until my Christmas projects for my sister's family are complete. I now have 179 new postings to someday catch up on =). However, I have missed your news, so I allowed myself a quick peek in on you. I just have to say how nice it is to put a face with a name for Melanie. I also have to say that I actually think she looks like she could be a true-blood sister of yours. You have some similar characteristics. Anyway, I'll finish my peek and get back to my sewing. I miss you!
