Thanksgiving 2010

Our Thanksgiving was great! We picked up my sister Kelee and spent the day with Dan's family. We had a delicious feast-- turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, corn, sweet potatoes, rolls, and my favorite-stuffing. Dessert was also delicious; I made some yummy pies-chocolate and 2 layer pumpkin; they turned out great, and I wish I would have got a picture. Speaking of pictures, I didn't really get any (which is so not like me, I know). I did snap a few early on in the day which are below.

After lunch we played around. Dan has been going through airplane withdrawals (he sold his so he could buy a monster truck lol), so he took the opportunity to fly his dad's. We also had a family ping pong tournament. Dan and I did pretty good winning some games and loosing a few to Dan's dad and brother. It was Kelee's first time playing ping pong and she did really well too. We also played pool and tons of card games. It's amazing how fast a day off work goes by. Before we knew it, it was time to head home and go to bed.

Friday I met my friend Kristi at Wal-mart around 7 to see if there were any good video games left. Dan wanted me to pick up Madden 11, and since it was a doorbuster I didn't have high hopes of getting it. You would think the video games would be in the electronics dept ...nope...they were in the produce department. Leave it to Wal-mart. I did find a copy of Madden after all, and I'm pretty sure it was the last copy because it was buried under a bunch of other games. Go me! We hit up target and big five before the craziness and crowds were just too much. I went home, took a nap, played walleyball with the family, then went back to a few stores later that night and had no trouble getting in and out! I am proud to say I have officially finished Christmas with the exception of one more thing for Dan and presents for our parents.

This year has flown by, and has sure been full of lots of craziness. But it has also been full of so many blessings (albeit in disguise at times). I am so thankful for Dan and the great hubby he is. I am so blessed, and have so much to be thankful for. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Now I can finally put my Christmas tree up. I'll admit, I have had most of my decorations up for a few weeks now. I told myself I would hold off on the tree until after Thanksgiving!
