We had a great Thanksgiving Day. Mike and Mindy and their family came up from San Antonio and our friends (the Lusks) joined us too. We had way too much pie. But managed to eat it all by Saturday night. Nate brined a turkey this year (it seems a popular option this year) and it was delicious!! We played the candy game. Not much candy, but lots of other prizes. I ran the Turkey Trot in Austin. It was very cold (39 degrees) but fun nonetheless. I'd never run a 5 mile race and really enjoyed it. But it took 3 miles to get warmed up! We saw Enchanted on Saturday. Everyone liked it. Very well done. Nate and Mike got up early on Black Friday for a trip to Best Buy. (Let's just say that I got my Christmas present early as it was too big a box to hide) and the kids have been playing in the box ever since. (I tell you, all you need to give kids for Christmas is sticks, rocks, and a giant cardboard box! Who needs ToysRUs when you can get a box for free!) Hope everyone else had a great holiday as well. We are now gearing up for Christmas...I got out my Christmas dishes! And the candle windmill and song and story books. We are good for the next week or so. Maybe some lights will get up if it warms up some. It's supposed to freeze tonight but be back in the 60's tomorrow afternoon, so maybe...)Happy Holidays everyone!
I remember playing the candy game with you guys one Thanksgiving. It was fun. That is a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteWe tried to go and see Enchanted but it was all sold out.

Cute dresses for your girls! I wish I was crafty like that.
ReplyDeleteSo where in Chicago did you guys live? I'm getting to know it better and better, but I'm still curious to know what your opinion is of certain places. Email me at btbmegadc at comcast dot net. Thanks!
