Thanksgiving

This year, we kept Thanksgiving pretty simple. My dad, Lonnie, Brian, Josh, Tiffy and I were the only people here. John and Patty decided to do their own thing this year. Yes, I wasn't very hapy about it since it should be about family and not just friends, but whatever. My sister is in Florida and couldn't come. So, it kinda sucked that she couldn't be here. But all in all, it was fine.

I cooked, like I do every year, and everyone else just came. josh is pretty good about helping. So, I do get a sous chef. LOL. We got up at 5A and prepped the turkey and a couple of the other dishes so that the turkey was in the oven by 6A. We did get a nap/rest time for about an hour and a half while everything was cooking.

We ate around 12P. Then, we all hung out and talked for a while, while my dad played w Tiffy. After a couple hours, it was all done and everyone was set to leave. It's kinda nice to not have to entertain ALL day long. That would be exhausting! We all get together and then after a couple hours we're all set to go. I like that about my family. We keep our visits short so we aren't all dying by the end of the day. I guess that says something about my family though- that we can't be around each other TOO long or we drive each other crazy. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. LOL!

Anyway, Josh had to go to work at 4P, but luckily about 15 minutes before he had to leave they called him and let him know it was slow and so he didn't have to come in. He was happy about that. So, we all decided to take a nap. It was nice. We got up and had a small dinner around 8. Watched a movie and then went to bed since the next day was going to be a LONG one. He he he.
