There are several things that I absolutely love about Thanksgiving. I love waking up to lots of family, nieces/nephews and the smell of turkey already cooking...James and I live close to family this year so we slept at our apartment alone and so this didn't happen. I love watching the parade on TV...we don't have TV so we didn't watch it. I love all of the delicious food; turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and LOTS of pie! I've had a horrible sinus infection and have not had the pleasure of being able to smell or taste for the last week! I love Black Friday - it is the BEST to get up at 4 and rush inside every store to try and find the ONE thing you're in search of! Except, we didn't get up to go that early because we we're exhausted and didn't see anything we really wanted. So, James and I got up at 9 drove to Target and Wal Mart, walked around and bought really cheap movies.
However, I DO love lots and lots of family! And we had plenty of it this weekend. I made pie with James's side of the family on Wednesday night. Yes, I made my first pie all by myself - it was a delicious pumpkin pie; James's favorite. We spent Thursday relaxing at James's house and then had a delicious feast with his family. We spent Friday with my family - playing games and eating lots of yummy leftovers (still, could not taste!) On Saturday we went to our friends Ian and Crystal and watched the BYU football game. Did you watch it? Because it was great...yes, the Cougars won - too bad for those Utes. BYU is just better :)
I have to admit - I'm quite sad that this weekend is over and that I didn't take any pictures! I promise my camera is in my purse. I just forget to pull it out and take pictures - it takes time, it gets in the way :) I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed your time off! Christmas vacation is three weeks away....perfect!
I'm commenting! ha ha. The picture thing will come. You have oodles of pictures before you know it! Then you will just have to spend more time with me scrapbooking when that happens :) lol. Thanks for haning out with us on Saturday! We had SOOOOO much fun. I hope you guys really did too :) Let's do it again soon! This weekend or next we might be able to go to Scofield and stay at the cabin. We are still working out the plans, but hopefully we can get it to work out. talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are still sick. At least you got to enjoy time off of work and spent with family. Hopefully the food was still good. I love making pie! I wish I could have been there too, maybe next year :)
