Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It really was a combo of several different celebrations/holidays in one. We had the birthday boys, who both have birthdays in December, but we like to try to separate the birthday/Christmas celebrations , so they don't get rooked out of their special day. I think they are okay with sharing their day with each other, and with Thanksgiving. It was fun having them here to do birthday stuff.
We decided to put up our Christmas tree on Wednesday so that Abe could see Christmas at Baba's house, cause we are having Christmas at Bri and Jakes this year. Also Big Rob was traumatized last year because we didn't put up our tree. It is nice to have it done, and I think Abe really enjoyed it. Now I can do other decorations at my leisure, if I even choose to do so.
Jeanie was here with us, and I think it was fun to have a guest other than my own little family. She was absolutely a great help in the potato pealing area. She even got a blister, and informed me her potato peeler is a much better tool than mine. I think mine is probly 30 years old. Right up there with my archaic electric carving knife and my wine glasses that are miniature compared to the litre models that are common today. I like to use them because they are so pretty.
Abe was a joy, and kept trying to put his little trains in my ficus tree. Like the Christmas tree in the living room, I am sure. He did have to go to time out once, and cried for Baba to save him. Which I couldn't , but totally wanted to and I loved the sentiment.
Robby tried to tutor me in guitar hero. I am absolutely so lame. But the fact that he tried made my weekend. We tried to have competition of the dressing, which Rob totally won, cause mine was not cooked all the way. The next day mine tasted okay....we'll have to work on that one.Next year I WILL WIN! The turkey was a group effort, and it was the best turkey we've ever had, I think.
Jeanie was like the dog whisperer, and the dogs really do respond to her. Our whole visit with Jeansie was a really fun time. I hope she comes back next year.
I think the sleeping conditions were sort of difficult for the Drlich family and sleeping on the floor so Abe won't fall out of bed was probably rough on pregnant mama.
I loved having Robby not have to run out on Thanksgiving day to have to go to work, and we just had a relaxing day eating and watching movies. Shreck The Halls was a big hit, except when little Gingy (Gingerbread Man) tells his part of the story and Bri has to cover Abe's eyes. The wonderful part of the holiday was that when we needed to hand Jeanie off to my sisters we went to Richmond to see baby Luke and all the Burkett family. What a fun weekend! So when I am sad that all the festivities are over, this year I was too exhausted to be sad. That's what I call a great holiday!
