Thanksgiving

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to write and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful day, we went out to Aunt Sharon's and ate dinner there and spent some time visiting with the family and playing games. I started a game of Risk with Uncle Ivan and Titus but had to give up my spot to Silas when Malachi decided it was time for him to eat. We headed home about 6:30 and spent a good part of the evening setting up our Christmas decorations. Lycia spent the night with us and she and I got up early and went shopping. I really didn't want to go out, but the groceries wouldn't buy themselves. It really wasn't that bad and Lycia was able to get some really good deals on some Christmas gifts. After we got done shopping Lycia went home and I got started on my cooking. I made two Thanksgiving Casseroles, one Sweet Potato Casserole, two Pumpkin Pies, 5c. Salad, and a double batch of dinner rolls. When Matt got home from work he and Mysia started decorating the tree, she was really excited and had so much fun hanging up the ornaments. We got the kids in bed about 10:00 and finished the cleaning and setting up for dinner the next day. We got to bed about 2:00am. Saturday we got up early and went to Sears and got our family pictures taken. As you can see from the new pictures on the blog they turned out pretty good. Then we ran home and put the casseroles in the oven to get ready for dinner.
Garry, Vicki and the kids came over about 12 and we celebrated Garry's birthday and then ate dinner. After dinner Garry and Vicki went to do some Christmas Shopping and the kids stayed and watched White Christmas with us. We started to play Star Wars Life but didn't get very far because Vicki called wanting the kids to come home. On Sunday my family came over for lunch to help us finish up the left overs. All in all we had a great weekend. With much to be thankful for. Hope you all had a good time too and much to thank God for.
