Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great. This year we had a 'real' turkey {don't ask} and were able to enjoy it with family.

My parents and sister came down to Phoenix, and it was perfect weather while they were here. We were incredibly blessed to have most of the days off from work while they were here. Sadly, I did come down with a nasty head cold, but that didn't stop me from enjoying my family.

Unfortunately we didn't take very many pictures, but here is just one from the feast. My mom insisted that Wolfgang be the first to cut into the turkey. So he did.

What is that, a beach towel as a table cloth/large pot holder on the table, you say? Why yes, yes it is. Gotta make do with whatcha got, right?

My mom and I did all the cooking, while my dad watched sports games at their hotel room (we don't have a tv), and Wolfgang and Jessie hiked Camelback. I'm glad I had cooking as an excuse, because climbing that beast was definitely a one time thing for me.

The holiday festivities consisted of eating {obviously}, weighing ourselves periodically on Thanksgiving day {it has become my tradition}, napping, movie-watching {The Descendents was really good. Complete with great acting and beautiful scenery- Hawaii of course}, a lot of board game playing, sister date of hair cut and dyeing, meeting sister's boyfriend for the first time, and more.

It was a great time had by all.
