lots of leftovers

We had a very nice Thanksgiving Day here! I somehow managed to plan enough ahead of time so that I wasn't running around like a crazy woman on Thursday morning, and I was able to coordinate all of the hot dishes so that they were ready to eat right at noon. Everything turned out yummy, too! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with Marissa and her mom, Elizabeth. After dinner, we played board games and visited some more....

We've pretty much been eating leftovers since then. LOL! Good thing none of us are sick of them yet.... Nick even said that having leftovers is one of his favorite things about Thanksgiving! (Mine, too!)

We've been enjoying the four-day weekend. Mostly we've been lazing around, playing games and watching movies, etc. On Friday we took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and got all of our outside Christmas decorations put up ~ lots of white lights, red bows, and green garlands. Yesterday I drove up to my friend Karen's and we scrapped all day! :)

Things I've been thankful for the last few days:

• a stress-free Thursday morning
• a delicious Thanksgiving dinner
• spending time with Marissa and Elizabeth
• leftovers!
• family time
• getting the outside of the house ready for the holidays
• a day of scrapping!
• getting to spend time with Karen, talking and laughing
• seeing my precious godson, David
• sleeping in
• watching Ben look at the Christmas lights outside ~ so excited!!
• more leftovers!
