Thanksgiving was fun. We had a nice family meal despite scorched cream for the pie, burnt rolls and apple pie blunder. A great example in proving that you can indeed have "too many cooks in the kitchen". In the end we did have fabulous cream pie, delicious apple pie and golden croissants. So, it all worked out just fine.
It was great to see my family. I have to say my favorite part of the weekend was putting together this ridiculously hard CSI Mystery 1,000 piece puzzle with my Mom, my sisters (Mirriam and Sara) and my brothers (Aaron and Josh). In the end Scotty helped... maybe we were keeping him awake with our insane all nighter, our determination to finish and solve the "crime". I've never put together a puzzle that large without a picture on the box to look at. It was definitely hard! I enjoyed it though. It was fun to be with my siblings, in the end we took turns role playing the character parts of the story. None of us are great actors. Although I think we all deserve an A for effort and bravery.
Also on Saturday we exchanged Christmas presents early. The grandkids helped Grandma decorate the tree and frost sugar cookies. Aaron gave Jared a Razor Scooter and he has been in heaven riding it back and forth every chance he gets. He also got some Pokemon cards and a Pokemon DS game. Grandma and Grandpa gave Cait an outfit for her American Girl doll and a hardbound book of all the Felicity stories. Caitlin was also happy with her girl gifts: jewelry, lip gloss and fluorescent pink nailpolish from Carlee.
We had taken snow gear but, in the end never used it as there wasn't enough snow anywhere nearby to play in. Scotty and I are thinking of trying out snowshoeing or cross country skiing sometime after Christmas.
It's good to be back home - our van now has 142K miles on it.
