Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Ours was great- we had a big family dinner on Thursday (sans Turkey because Hale forgot to buy oil for the deep fryer!). My uncle and his wife drove in from Wilmington with their 2 adorable kids. Marc & Sara were there with Jake, Jon and I brought Ike, Grandmommy, Mom, Hale, Morgan, and mom’s friend Jackie rounded out the group. Here are some pictures from the day:
How cute are these kids??
Marc and Jake kick back and watch a little football.

After dinner we went outside for some
trampoline time. Later on we settled in to watch Spirited Away on dvd. Such a beautiful movie.
Friday Morgan, Sara, Jake and I did a little shopping while avoiding the mall. Then Jon and I went to see Bad Santa (which was absolutely a riot- Jon laughed so hard he cried) then had dinner at Buca di Beppo. We sat on the far end of the room and I couldn’t really read the menu on the wall from there. I asked the waitress for a handheld menu but Jon said we didn’t need it. The waitress walks away and I ask what he’d like for dinner and he says “I don’t know- I can’t see anything on the menu!” Wha?? So our waitress basically chose our meal. It was really good though.
Saturday I worked some overtime then we went to see Timeline. I had read the book so I was curious to see how the movie would turn out. It was great! Lots of action.
Sunday we went out for breakfast, ran some errands, then put up the Christmas tree and decorated the house for Christmas. We’ve still got some lights to put up, and ornaments to hang on the tree, but we got a lot accomplished yesterday. We’re feeling a little Griswold type competition from the neighbors. I see a really high electric bill in our future once we get all our lights up!
Bless Your Heart
