A Very Happy Thanksgiving

Well, again no pics yet but I did take some good ones so I hope to post very soon (I know I keep saying that - I MUST get my computer fixed). Anyway, we had a great Thanksgiving. Kelsie had no school all week so we spent the first couple of days just running errands, buying groceries and cleaning the house. Wednesday was more fun b/c Wayne took off work and we got to spend the day with him. Kelsie and I spent the better part of the evening preparing some of our Thanksgiving dishes ahead of time - she LOVES to cook so it was fun for both of us. She made her daddy's favorite, chocolate chip pie. It was a big hit on Thanksgiving Day. On Thursday, Wayne's family came over for lunch, everyone contributed to a yummy meal. Wayne fried the turkey and we had a ham along with all the delicious sides and desserts that everyone brought. We watched the Cowboys play and looked at all the ads in the paper (my personal favorite tradition). The highlight for everyone was the snow. Technically it was probably a "wintry mix" but it was still fun. The kids went out and played for a while in it but it really came down that night. Raider did pretty well with everyone here. He was held a lot b/c he's so cute and little. Friday we did a little shopping (no 5 a.m. this year) and went to see the movie "Enchanted." It was really cute. Today was Brittany's 9th birthday party so we went over to Arlington for cake, presents and skating. A fun weekend. Now for the Christmas decorating - I hope to finish by Monday night then the shopping begins. Hope your holidays were happy and filled with friends and family.

We went and saw Enchanted Thursday and loved it. There were some really hilarious scenes in it. I especially loved the chipmunk's facial expressions and the cleaning of the apartment.

Glad to hear you had a great day with family. Haven't had fried turkey in several years. Loved the movie. Hated the rats and cockroaches. Ugh! (Patrick D. made up for them though)
