Newlywed Thanksgiving

Why must Thanksgiving already be over?! Holidays fly by way too fast. This was our first Thanksgiving together-together. While John and I were dating, we spent the holidays with our own families. Now, we divide our time between both families ... and as nervous as I was that trying to see everyone would be stressful and overwhelming, it worked out great! We did lunch in Birmingham with his side of the family. Then, we drove about 20 minutes north to Gardendale and had dinner with my side.

However, I do have one request: Can I just be the holiday photographer? I was busy helping my side of the family get ready for Thanksgiving Dinner that I didn't get the pictures I wanted. And, I also didn't get the family picture I wanted with John's immediate family. Bummer. Well, enjoy what I did get!

Our first newlywed Thanksgiving!
