West Coast Rohrboughs: Happy Thanksgiving!!

This past week we celebrated a couple of firsts in the Rohrbough household. We had our first Thanksgiving on the West Coast, we hosted Thanksgiving for the first time, and we cooked and ate our first turducken! As noted in our last post, we even had snow for Thanksgiving, something I don't remember having in years! Even though it was difficult not being with our families on Thanksgiving we were blessed to be surrounded by wonderful new friends who have become our West Coast family.

Thursday afternoon around 4 o'clock we had several of the first year residents and their families over to our home for a Thanksgiving potluck. We feasted on an array of cheeses, pomegranate dip, wines, chex mix, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, stuffing, salad, bourbon corn pudding, pumpkin pie, Swedish pancakes, cannolis, cakes, cookies, lasagna, ham, and turducken...oh my! The food was plentiful and the left overs are still here. We cleared out our front room and our dear friends borrowed folding tables and chairs from their church. We ate, talked, ate, laughed, and ate some more. I have a feeling Ty had a few table scraps along the way as well.

Here are some pictures from our dinner. Sorry there are not more, but my camera is on the verge of dying for good so it struggles just to stay on long enough to snap a shot. Needless to say a new camera will hopefully be a cyber Monday purchase. Here are a few of the pictures I did get:

These are the candle holders from our wedding with leftover Halloween candy in them :)
