A Little About Our Thanksgiving

Josh's sister, Morgan (and her puppy, Sophi), drove up from Ohio on Wednesday and we picked up Josh's parents, Clay and Debbie, at the airport later that night. We are so glad we were able to spend Thanksgiving together, we had such a great time, and Josh's schedule allowed him to be home quite a bit while they were here.

On Thursday we enjoyed a Thanksgiving Meal of turkey, fresh green beans with bacon, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, my Aunt Pat's homemade rolls, Morgan's Buckeye Bars, and my mom's pumpkin and pecan pies. I was especially thankful that Clay offered to wrestle the turkey and get it into the roasting pan for me!

We made a few outings every day or two; a stop at the mall for knitting books and the Twilight Series (which is amazing!), visited a cute little yarn shop, went to dinner and to Blockbuster. For the most part, though, the boys watched tv or played games and we girls knitted and couldn't stop reading. Sunday morning we walked around Ikea. Morgan and Josh and I bought down comforters and duvets, which we all love! I think a happy Thanksgiving was had by all.
