Another holiday that wasn't spend with my family back home in WA. But this year was just as good as last year. We are all grown up now!! It was me, Heidi, Nate, Tyler and Katie at our apartment this year and everyone brought their own little pieces of tradition to our dinner. I did the turkey and my dad's famous mashed potatoes, Heidi did her families sweet potatoes and Katie made THREE pies--pumpkin, my grandma's apple pie and her family's snickerdoodle pie. Let's just say that dinner and desert were AMAZING!!! We all did a great job and made it feel like we were truly surrounded by family and in a way we were. We all said what we were thankful for, said grace and enjoyed a meal as a family in our nice clothes. We made the boys dress up for dinner and a group picture which they quickly changed out of as soon as dinner was done. We watched the Macy's parade and a lot of football (despite the girls not really wanting to watch it), lounged around and just relaxed. It was the only day this past week we were able to actually relax since this semester is done in 2 weeks and we have a TON of papers and projects due in the VERY near future. But our rule was no homework/studying on Thanksgiving so we did just that and it was GREAT!! Now, back to the grind we go. We are all going to be zombie's for the next two weeks! But oh well!! I come home Dec 14 @ 1 pm and CAN'T WAIT to see my family, friends and my boyfriend. Hopefully he doesn't have to go back to war before I get home or go see his daughter in Texas but if he does, he knows I will support him either way!!!
Katie's mom sent us an edible arrangement for Thanksgiving so we had an appetizer to eat while we waited for the turkey and good to be done
Tyler caught a pre-dinner nap :)
The turkey I prepared that tasted AMAZING!!
