Thanksgiving Weekend

So far this long weekend rocks.

Last night the children and I ate pizza and watched The Mask while Ian was at the church for Jr High. Once they were all in their beds, I sat quietly reading a book on Golden Retrievers and waited for Ian to come home. We then watched The Proposal.

Loved it.

Today was a pretty perfect day.

We all woke up slowly this morning and headed over to my mom's so I could clean & stuff the turkey and get it into the oven by 11am.

Then we headed out to go apple picking at the same orchard we have been going to for 30+ years. Usually we go in the middle of September but we weren't able to find the time to do so. I figured today would be crowded and the pickin's pretty slim, and I was right. But it was a gorgeous fall day and we really enjoyed ourselves. We picked two bags for us and two bags for mom, then looked around their little store for a bit. I bought a pumpkin pie and an apple pie.

Oh I love me some apple pie. Yummeh!

Dinner was so good: turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, carrots, turnip, gravy, salad & rolls. Dessert was a choice of confetti cake, ice cream, pie, brownies, cookies or skor squares.

So good.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
