    How was your Thanksgiving?

    We had a nice, laid-back day. The kids played videogames and Thomas watched his german tv..I made some german baked goods (schnecken, strudel) and we had turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, rolls, gravy.....yummmmm. I gained....*gulp* 6 pounds in 3 days and I don't really think that I ate THAT much. I guess all of the tasting as I cooked added to the poundage!

    We also went and watched the Sponge Bob movie...I don't recommend it....

    Back to the treadmill, I guess!

    Our Thanksgiving was heavenly and a MUCH needed break. Our homemade pizzas on turkey day were delicious. We rented a bunch of videos and two video games for the kids. The weather has been nice, so they have been able to be outside quite a bit, which has helped my sanity! They get along much better when they are not in school, for some reason, and I have been enjoying seeing them play together (mostly) harmoniously. I didn't realize that DH didn't have to go in (except to round) on Friday, and when I figured it out, I had that delicious feeling that I used to have when the radio announced a snow day! He has been on call, but there have barely been any pages. We have gotten the house clean and I have cooked some things that I haven't had time to cook in a while.....oatmeal banana chocolate chip muffins, tomato basil soup, and I have the stuff to make meat loaf and a chicken casserole yet this weekend. In a while, DH's aunt and uncle and cousins (and their two girls) are stopping here for lunch on their way home to CO/WY. They spent Thanksgiving in Waco, where another cousin lives, and we are on their way home. It will be great to see them!

    So, all in all, although I am missing my mom's surprise 60th b-day party tomorrow in Indiana that I helped plan (sound familiar, Kris? ) I am having a wonderful time and a much needed break!

      Ours went great. We stayed home just the two of us and had a fun day cooking the full-on Thanksgiving meal. (Our freezer is full of leftovers.) It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Actually the hardest part was carving the bird--they don't tell you that only a couple parts are done with neat Norman Rockwellesque slicing and that most of it you have to pull apart like a caveman.

      Hopefully next year we'll be spending Thanksgiving back in the bosom of family, but all in all it wasn't a bad way to spend the holiday.
