Thanksgiving with Friends

I have learned that growing up and moving away from home makes it a lot more important to have a close group of really good friends. Nolan and I both feel so blessed to have gone to Geneva and have some of the friends that we have. Many of these people have become our family, and we love them! A few years ago our group of friends started a tradition of getting together for a Christmas party, getting dressed up, and cooking a big meal. Over the years, the group of people grew and changed and the past two we have gotten together for a Thanksgiving dinner instead. This year, our friend Scotty hosted all of us at his house. Some of our closest friends were there and also some new people that we have recently gotten to know. We had a ton of fun and the cooks did an incredible job! Everyone brought a little something but it was especially relaxing for me because I am usually in charge of more, but this time I just helped out. Here are some pictures from our night:

Meg was one of the wonderful cooks, and Jammin on the right

was Nolan's other roommate at Geneva

Ally is our neighbor in Sewickley and is dating one of our college friends! Tyler and Noah are from college and Tyler lives in Sewickley now too! Grubby was Nolan's roommate last year, with Scott and Dodd Nolan with the host Scotty and Bacon
