Our plans for Thanksgiving this year were up in the air. We are allergic to dogs, so we can't go to my brother's house, so we decided to go to Vegas to visit Rick's mom and our great friend Sarah. But then with all the traveling (to Ecuador and next week to China), we decided it would just be too crazy. So we planned on staying home and not really doing anything big. But then a nice couple in our ward invited us over for dinner. Yea! BUT then we found out they have a dog too, so that was out of the question. They felt bad, so they brought us all their fixings--A turkey, gravy mix, stuffing, olives, cranberries and a pumpkin pie!
We had a wonderful family day--we went out in the morning, got warm drinks from Beany's (pumpkin hot chocolate was actually good today--amazing!), did some shopping at Walgreens and Smith's and then came home. I helped the kids decorate cookies and then we enjoyed a slide show of Rick's travels to Ecuador. The pictures are incredible! WAY TO GO BABY!
Lunch was great. Rick cooked the turkey and it tasted wonderful. The kids were all good eaters, even Tan. Afterwards, Rick mowed the lawn, I weeded and together we did a few Christmas decorations and Rick replaced some light bulbs outside-THANKS HONEY!
This evening, we all watched the last two episodes of The Amazing Race which Rick had missed while on his trek. It was just so nice to all be home together with really nothing in particular that had to be done...
