Thanksgiving weekend began with Beth preforming at preschool in a colors concert.
Afterwards we all enjoyed a Thanksgiving lunch at her preschool.
Lance's 4 siblings drove from Utah to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend with us.
They arrived Wednesday afternoon.
The boys put up curtains in my living room while I started cooking...
Stuffing, Jello salad, Cranberries, and Pies.
Thanksgiving day consisted mostly of WAITING!!!
We always end up waiting for that blasted turkey to be done.
Next year we are putting it in at 7am!!
This year we didn't eat until 6pm and we were HUNGRY!!
Our menu was lovely though... worth the wait.
*Turkey
*Mashed Potatoes with mashed sweet potatoes & Gravy
(great flavor and pretty orange color.. my mother raised me to appreciate colorful food :)
*Stuffing
*Peas
(Aren't veggies on Thanksgiving just a waste of stomach space to you? They are to me too.)
*Rolls
*Jello Salad and strawberries
*Homemade cranberry sauce
*Condiments... pickles, pepperonchini, olives
*Chips and Onion Dip (while we waited for HOURS)
* Cranberry Juice and Ginger Ale
*Pies....Pumpkin, Chocolate, Lemon Meringue, Butterscotch
During the course of the day it went from 83 degrees to 50. Lovely.
We ended our evening with Toy Story 3 and of course Texas vs. Texas A & M football.
Of course I didn't think about taking pictures of any of this until AFTER dinner.
And the table was so beautiful...sigh.
Friday we all headed off to Sea World.
It was a bit chilly but still laughable to the "Utahans" that we were listening to Christmas music and it was in the 50's outside with no snow.
Welcome to a Texas Christmas.
Our company left on Saturday morning and we officially started our Christmas shopping.
Saturday night we watched an awesome BYU vs. Utah game...well not to awesome in Lance's eyes :)
Sunday I came down with some sort of bug and here I sit on Monday, blogging, Christmas shopping online, and trying to feel better so I can jump in with both feet this week.
Hope your Thanksgiving weekends were good ones.

Aw man, I wish we could see your house! I know how hard you've been working to get it all spifted up... Anyway, looks like FUN! Maybe next year, WE can have Thanksgiving together!
Maybe Lance needs his eyes checked if he is still seeing cougar blue :) The really sad game was the night before--Boise St. vs Nevada. I feel for you Lance.
