Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving is definitely a fun time with family and a time to catch up with some friends you maybe haven't seen in a long time. This year I was able to finish our Christmas letter, download some pictures, and just reflect on what we have been doing in the past year. We were able to get away this year for 3 days and it sure was relaxing to be away from Duluth.

Celebrating Thanksgiving on a Saturday was different but the food was still the same. I didn't even watch any football this year. (The Packers going undefeated is really killing me this year) I think next year we will be able to celebrate on Thanksgiving day but just time with family is fun no matter what day.

My favorite part of the meal strangly enough is the mashed potatoes with butter, salt & pepper. No gravy for me.

I look outside and see no snow and wonder what is going on? Usually by now we have about 6 inches on the ground. Having no snow certainly at Bentlyville was a little different but I am not complaining. We didn't freeze and we could actually walk slow, take some pictures and enjoy the lights. Emma got to see Santa and Cooper was excited to see Santa until it was time to sit on his lap. Then it was screaming and crying. Good times this year at Bentlyville.

This time of year is all about being thankful and my list is long this year. I couldn't ask for more from my family and friends. I can already tell this Christmas season is going to be a good one, again.

Time

Shall I blog or continue with Facebook. I haven't blogged in 2 years but I think this would be really fun to start typing opinions on things. I'd like to get back in to it.
