THANKSGIVING!!

We got to host our second Thanksgiving this weekend - the first one in our new house. I'm so thankful for so many things. The first one is for having such a helpful husband!! Paul typed out a cooking schedule and copied all the recipes and started brining the Turkey on Monday. Then he made stuffing and pumpkin pie and gravy and vacuumed the house on Tuesday and Wednesday. The only thing we had to do on Thursday was mash some potatoes and roast some veggies! And cook everything according to the schedule! What fun!!

We had a smaller crowd than expected - Jacqueline, Becca & Andrew flew down to sunny San Diego, and Kendal & Edith Emily are still in LA - and even though we miss them all dearly, we've been having quite a good time playing our new games (Bananagrams, Dominion & Agricola), eating lots of tasty leftovers, cuddling with the kitties, doing sudoku, crosswords, &"homework", taking walks (okay, A walk), watching movies & decorating for Christmas!

As you can see, Robby's girlfriend, Elizabeth is quite good with the kitties! Pepper especially loves to be carried around inside Elizabeth's zip-up fleece. I don't have a picture, but it's kind of similar to Mojo's picture with Dad at dinner. Pretty darn cute!

Hooray for relaxing family holiday weekends!!!!!!!

Blah

This is our blah post. We don't really have anything to say right now. Except for that we finally decided on names for our kitties. Mojo & Pepper. They are awesome. Except when they try to eat our noses and our ears and smother us before we wake up in the morning. And except when they try to climb up the new curtains that we just hung last night. And except when they scratch the hell out of the back of our computer chair. And except for when Mojo isn't careful where he is sticking his tooshie. But otherwise, they really are quite adorable and cuddly and fuzzy and all the great things that kitties are. They are our cuddle monsters.
