we had a great thanksgiving. my mother-i-law is the best cook. she had a huge spread of food and it was all delicious! after we ate, we sat around talking and then andrea and april and i took the 3 kiddos for a ride in the "escalade". they had allot of fun. when we got back it was time for pie and relaxation. i have so much to be thankful for...my family, my friends and our health. i am also very thankful for our amazing country, and to all of the brave men and women, and their families, that protect her. i am so glad that we don't have to travel during the holidays. all of our family lives here. so nobody is allowed to move! unless you are moving up to flagstaff, or munds park...i am thankful that every year, charlie b and i get to have two of every holiday. we spend the day-of thanksgiving at his parents house. we have round two at my parents house the next day (or in this case, three days later). we then spend Christmas eve at my parents house and Christmas day at charlie b's parents house. it is purely selfish that we do this. it is nice to be able to spend a whole day at one's house without having to rush through dinner to drive across town to eat again. so i must say thank you to my mom. she "settles" each year to have the day before or the day after. (and yes, i ask her each year if she really doesn't mind that she doesn't get the day of, and every year she says it doesn't bother her at all. she is also in the "selfish" mode and it fits everyone just fine.
