Thanksgiving

We made the crowded, but beautiful drive down to Richmond for Thanksgiving this year. What an enjoyable few days we had with Matt's parents and aunt & uncle! Most of our time was spent visiting in front of the TV with a plateful of food in our laps. (Isn't that how the majority of Americans spend the holiday?) Thursday we watched the parade (well, I did at least) ate turkey, ham, dressing, potatoes, green beans, broccoli & rice, squash casserole and crescent rolls. As did many other thankful Americans, we went on a walk before driving out to the movin' picture show. Girls saw The Blind Side and guys saw 2012. Friday involved nooo shopping for any of us. Just more food, visiting and anticipation of the AU vs AL game. Might I say, "War Eagle!" Though we did end up losing (barely), it was an extremely surprising and fun game! That night Matt and I set up our tent in the backyard hoping to get one more fun use out of it before winter set in. It was going to be perfect, chilly, sleep outside weather... until a thunderstorm canceled our plans. Saturday we, you guesed it, slept in, ate and visited before making the beautiful drive back home.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good first week of December :o)
