Thanksgiving 2013

I cannot believe that another Thanksgiving has come and gone so fast, and that in just a few short weeks Christmas will be here. When we got married we decided to do Thanksgiving with my parents one year and B's parents the other year. Last year we went with my family, so this year we went to be with B's family. It was my first ever Thanksgiving away from my family. I did FaceTime them so I got to see them on Thanksgiving.

We went down to B's family lake house this year on Wednesday. As soon as we got there we unpacked and went to dinner with everyone. As soon as we got back from dinner I started to make my pumpkin pie, which turned out to be a good thing because the next day was crazy with everyone getting everything else ready for Thanksgiving day lunch. As we were there I was asked  what my family did for Thanksgiving a lunch or a dinner. As I thought back I came up with the answer it would depend on what year and where we were. As, in the past we have had both.

Growing up we would go to my grandparents house in Missouri and we would do lunch mostly, and maybe a few times dinner. Then after my Mom's parents passed away we stayed in Dallas and went to Brook Hollow for lunch. After my Dad's parents passed away we started going up to our lake house and would do dinner. So, I have done it all so many different ways. This year just added a new one to the books.

Next year we will be with my family for Thanksgiving. It is fun alternating each year so here is to Thanksgiving 2014.

Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving, my family all went up to our lake house. It was a lot of fun to have everyone up there. We went up on Wednesday and my brothers both came up Thursday. we did a fried turkey this year. It was a really good. The only mishap we had was that the turkey frier was broken. So, Chase and my Dad went to Walmart that was open and got a new one. We did not have thanksgiving dinner until about 8 PM. A little later but it was good. Thursday, my Mom and I went to see the new Harry Potter. It was good. Friday, we all just hung out and the weather had warmed up quite a bit. On Thanksgiving it was about 37 degrees or so. The day before it was in the 80's. So, we had a big temperature drop. Friday night we did fondue as a family. It is fun to do if you have never done it before. Saturday, Ben came up and we just hung out. So, it was a great Thanksgiving full of fun and family.

Happy Thanksgiving
