This year we are really blessed to have our dear, dear friends here! Angela and Dennis and the kids moved here last week!! We spent Thanksgiving of 2000 together also. That was the year that the guys ate so much before dinner that we had to push it back a few hours. Thanks in part to Dennis making home-made lumpia and the guys were watching a football game and go figure... This year we were just as stuffed. It was great to have such good friends over, especially when family is so far away.
We cooked a 27 lb turkey and had million side dishes. Go figure, I am always worried there will not be enough food so naturally, I made too much. (ya'd think I grew up in the great depression?!)
Dennis carved the turkey, Maddie posed with the turkey, Ryan and Adeline played in the water and Maddie insisted on getting a pic of my cranberry relish that looked like a bloody scene from a horror movie. I guess your only suppose to soak the "mold" in the hot water for a few seconds, not minutes, to loosen it from the mold... It looks horrendous... It's always something, isn't it?
Today (black Friday) Troy is busy hanging Christmas lights on our house. We'll wrap lights up the palm trees... It's still a little strange not to have snow but if we put the AC down low enough we can manage to wear sweaters comfortably.
He just called me from Sports Authority, he has the boys and is SHOPPING for running shoes!!! Today of all days!?? Seriously? With two children in tow? He is crazy! The lights are "half- up" and he is shopping for shoes...ha ha ha Last I heard he said he was taking the boys out to get some bulbs for the lights! Good Lord, what was he thinking? ha ha ha...
