Thanksgiving Weekend Report

This Thanksgiving I was off!!! And I was thankful!!! My first day off, Thursday, I got up early to make some chex mix and green bean casserole to take to my parents for turkey day. After Guen's morning nap we went over there and had a delicious meal. Ryan and I were not thinking because Guen ate the messiest meal of her life. Worse than her birthday cake smash-in-ur-face messy. We needed an entire new outfit after our thanksgiving meal. We even needed new socks if that tells you how messy she got. Instead, my sister Tootie had voluteered at a parade that morning and got a free t=shirt, so the family photos we took after thanksgiving you will see Guen in her LARGE t-shirt. After thanksgiving we went home, Guen took a nap and then we were off to Ryan's side of the family Thanksgiving. We caught the tale end of it but that was ok because we were still stuffed from lunch. We hung out the Ryan's family for a couple of hours before getting home around 730pm. Friday, my sister came over to take our family photo for our xmas cards. She shared her stories of Tootie and her continuing with the tradition of hitting the outlet malls at midnight (except now in Houston instead of San Marcos) and seeing the movie Burlesque. Unfortunately when taking the photos, Guen was not in the best mood and my idea of taking outdoor photos was shot due to it raining. But below is one that will not make the card, but was funny! After that my dad came over and we got everything down from the attic to put up the xmas tree. I had planned on doing the BEFORE the photoshoot but it did not happen. So our xmas photos are not very xmas-ee. Oh well. We went and had lunch at Victor's Deli and then came home to decorate the xmas tree while Guen napped. For some reason that afternoon she slept for 2.5 hours so we got everything done! After her nap we went over to a family friends house, the Estes. We got to see Allison and Brendan home from Minneapolis. It was good to see them and Mr and Mrs Estes. Guen was on her best behavior after that long nap. We were proud parents. Saturday we got up and had some family time and around lunch time we went down to see the Homers in there new house they just bought!!! It is gorgeous and huge!!! It even has a library. I love the library. It makes me want to smoke a cigar, drink brandy next to the fireplace with my ascot attire. Yes it even has a fireplace in the library-fancy. We walked to Cafe Benedict and had bunch with the Homer family. Of course baby Kate is an angel while our wild child Guen was loud. It was such a pretty day. That evening Ryan went to the grocery and we watched a weird movie that I could not even watch anymore, I was so bored, called I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With. I had to work on Sunday so that was my Thanksgiving weekend. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, let me know about your more interesting life.
