Thanksgiving at the White House

Thanksgiving was held at the White House this year and it was a BLAST! Donald and I have always loved to have company and we especially enjoy hosting a family holiday. Emily is loads of fun to have around during these times, as well. She provided plenty of entertainment throughout the day. Donald's Uncle Tom came to visit and was apparently wearing some type of special pheromone cologne because Emily couldn't get enough of him all day. She corralled him in the play room and put him through all kinds of tea parties and dress-up indignities before he could escape downstairs to be with the grownups. I didn't get to take very many pictures on Thanksgiving - too busy with other things! After everyone went home, we all took a long "roll up" and then settled down on the couch to watch the lighting of the Macy's tree. Emily really enjoyed this, as well as the showing of Beyonce's Vegas show which came on later in the evening. At one point she disappeared into her room and then reappeared wearing hot pink Crocs and a swimsuit singing "Single Ladies." A diva is born! Happy Thanksgiving from the White House!

Getting the yard ready for company. We are overloaded with leaves!

T.C. looks thrilled at the prospect of so many people in the house at one point. However, there was turkey so that made it a little better.

Snagging some homemade pimento cheese - Yum!

Real cranberry sauce - Double Yum! I can eat this by the bowlful.

Snuggling during the tree lighting. What a great way to end the evening!
