Thankgiving 2006

This year we decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at home. It was originally going to be just us and the kids, but then I found out that Mom was going to be home alone b/c Dad and Ryan were to be at work and Chad was to be at his girlfriends house but then we made it so Dad and Ryan could eat here and then Chad decided to come over, I guess just to watch us eat? So it was the my whole family ( minus sister) all squished into my little house. So my hubby started the turkey in the oven around 10 am. I was under the impression that I was to make everything and he was just going to fry the other turkey. But he beat me to everything and the only thing I made was the homemade mashed potatoes and the pumpkin cake. All from scratch!! yes I am very proud of myself and I did ask if people liked it. A little reassurance! So Chad got here first, just a few minutes before mom, dad, and Ryan. I was a little disappointed that they did not bring the Wii over. ;P
So seeing how I got off easy on the whole cooking dinner thing, I was not exhausted until about 9pm. Hubby, on the other hand, was asleep by 6 pm. I drained the fryer, washed the dishes, cut up the "extra" turkey, (yes we had a whole turkey left after everyone left), and then I sat down and watched "Good Wilt hunting" with the kids on Cartoon Network. After that we were watching "chitty chitty bang bang". I did not get through much of that before I was out like a light.
It was a nice dinner. I wish our home was finished and we would of had more room. Mom wants us to cook dinner again next year, but at her house this time. more room. Hopefully My sister will be over next year with her husband and bab(ies)! Then perhaps we will need to cook those two turkeys?

So CJ is here watching me write this and he wants to add something so here we go something from CJ....
