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!!!!!!!
