A bitter sweet thanksgiving

It was a bitter sweet Thanksgiving this year! With this being our first Thanksgiving away from family, we had a few episodes of feeling homesick! We were both quite excited to make our own little turkey dinner though. We made all the preparations and with a few tips from my mom we were ready to spend the day in the kitchen making all the yummy treats! We were feeling very ambitious and even made some of my grandma's homemade cinnamon rolls, which are so tasty, as well as a homemade cherry pie! It all turned out quite well, if I do say so myself! And it was so fun to see Nate get so excited to see his pie turn out so well! But as the night came to a close and we called home and could hear all the commotion in the back ground we were wishing we were there sitting in the family room sharing a few laughs with everybody. Although we are very grateful for our friends here in Maui who have made this feel like home there is just nothing that can replace the warmth of your own family! So we are missing you all, and love ya. Can't wait to see ya all real soon!
