This year was the year to celebrate Thanksgiving with my side of the family. Since we were going to be apart on Thanksgiving, Amanda had the fabulous idea to do a pre-Thanksgiving. She and I made an entire feast! Needless to say, we were exhausted by the end of the day, but the food was good and we had fun. Great idea Amanda!!
On the actual day of Thanksgiving we went to my mom’s house in Cottonwood Heights. We had a nice meal and we stayed and hung out with my family for most of the day. I didn’t even take one picture of our feast, just a few of us playing games. After we ate we played games, Nate fell asleep in the middle of Passwords. He missed some funny moments though. My mom was trying to get us to guess the word tattle. Here were her three clues: rat, tale, mommy. We thought she said tail, and I was so so confused. What does rattail mommy have to do with anything? So we were guessing mullet and ratlings and all sorts of crazy things. Oh man. Then later I was giving the clues for the word arthritis so my first clue was joint. My mom yells out “MARIJUANA!” Literally yells it. I seriously almost peed my pants. I seriously wonder if I was adopted. So we had a low key Thanksgiving and Nate and I slept in on Friday, no Black Friday shopping for us this year. My brother came and spent the night at our apartment. We took him back to Cottonwood Heights and visited my mom for a few hours. Anyway, that was our holiday. It was nice for me to have Nate home for so many days. I’m not looking forward to Monday. I am hoping to put up our Christmas decorations this coming weekend. I LOVE this time of year! Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday too!
