We had an absolutely great Thanksgiving. We had a great dinner complete with quality time in the preparation. We had a houseful of friends over for dessert (Thank you Lester and Esther for sharing your family with us.). Grandma Sarah and Esther’s mother talked about their Finnish heritage. The rest of us ate apple pie, key lime pie, flan, pumpkin pie, and who knows what other kind of pie.
Today has been very lazy so far. We got up late, ate a bowl of cereal, hung out at Barnes and Noble for several hours, picked up an iPod cable to replace the one Kelly lost, bought some yarn for knitting Christmas presents, and ate a late lunch at Wendy’s (our favorite fast food). Now everyone is taking a nap. Lorena, Christian, and I are going to run down to the store while Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah nap and Kelly knits. There is way too much food in the house. I am going to start the turkey soup simmering before we go. We will eat soup and hang out today with the hope of more of the same tomorrow.

I’m having Barnes and Noble envy…! We have 1 mini Borders w/ little selection. Of course this may save me money!
Hope the rest of your weekend was lovely.
Man, we hate being so close to the big city, but there are some benefits. At the Barnes and Noble closest to our house, they have a ton of easy chairs, wireless internet that we can use for free because we they use the same one we use at our house, a Starbucks, and clean bathrooms. It does not get much better than that.

Thanks for helping me be even more envious! Sheesh it is like you’re encouraging me to sin 🙂
I was pleased to be asked to head a reading project at school, It’s pretty simple but I was the only one asked so it made me feel good. One more lesson plan to do tonight and I’m procrastinating by reading your blog : )!
