Now that I have recovered from my food coma, I can blog about our Thanksgiving. We spent the day with my parents in Orange County. As with every trip to mom’s, we left with our pants unbuttoned and swearing off food! Thanks mom for not letting us down! We began the feast with warm appetizers and good conversation. We spent the afternoon hanging out just enjoying each other’s company. Jer and Katrina brought over their new malti-poo, Bella. For being brand new to the family she sure seemed to adjust well. She seems like she will be a lover for sure! We rounded out the night with a traditional Thanksgiving Day feast with a turkey and all the fixings that most people have on this day. I seemed to be the only one who could force down a little dessert at the end. They all tried to graze on a pumpkin pie cheese cake thing (no thanks!) while I scarfed down some delicious chocolate ice cream!! Chocolate ice cream seems to be a regular food item in my life these days. :o) We headed home around 7:30 and only had a little traffic to speak of. In fact, the only traffic we experienced on Thanksgiving- coming and going- was due to accidents. I was surprised that we made it to Orange County with only a 30 minute delay and we made it home in our normal time. All in all, the day was great and I think we all had a good time enjoying each other. We have a lot to be thankful for this year and I try to remember this on more than just one day a year! I think we all should!
