Thanksmas

Thanksgiving with Nick's family today, also did Christmas since Dave is having knee surgery beginning of December and won't be able to travel then. Lots of good food for lunch ... turkey, ham, sweet potatoes with a pecan crumb topping, green bean casserole, homemade rolls, a fancy lettuce salad, a cran-raspberry jell-o salad, a strawberry jell-o salad, wine, mashed potatoes. For dessert, Christine (the cousin) made 2 pumpkin pies, a strawberry rhubarb pie, and a chocolate pudding pie -- for 12 people. Lots of good presents too ... we got the new george foreman grill we wanted, only the newer one, that has an extra plate more ... so excited ... can't wait for Saturday to use it. We also got Da Vinci Code, Walk the Line, blockbuster gift card, movie theater gift cards, a head/scarf thing Sandy made, an unbreakable stained glass window hanging thing (made of fabric) ... can't even think what else there was. All in all, a good day.
