We enjoyed another family "Thanksmas" yesterday. Well, except for Nebraska losing to Iowa, which Nathan, Craig, Derek & I watched. At least Nebraska kept it close, but you know what they say: "Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, & presidential debates.
Last evening we enjoyed our traditional feast: Turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, Lois' world famous stuffing, crescent rolls, sweet potato casserole (yuck), cranberries (double yuck), green bean casserole, corn w/cream cheese. After we opened presents, we enjoyed Rachel's pumpkin-pecan pie.
[Brianna ate the left over green bean casserole for breakfast this morning. Did I mention that she's 15?]
After dinner we took family pictures. Laura directed traffic. Then we opened presents. Everyone seemed satisfied & grateful. Bentley (6) & Calvin (3 1/2) got a little impatient & wanted to start playing with their presents.
It's a little after noon today. Sarah & the dogs are taking naps. The rest of the crew is playing at the YMCA. After several days of yucky weather, the sun is out. It was a really wet snow (We got 6.5" on TUE.), & yesterday it rained, & temps are above freezing, so it's a sloppy mess outside. The kids were hoping to go sledding, but I think it will be too slushy.
As always, we are very thankful & grateful for family. We all get along so well. Bentley & Calvin get along especially well--another thing to be thankful & grateful for. Happy (a little late) Thanksgiving!
