Thanksgiving

We had our first Thanksgiving in Krugerville this year!  The whole Nieman/Farris fam was there.  I attempted to decorate.  I went back to Bed Bath and Beyond 3 times to get the right size tablecloth.  Everyone got to meet our new addition, Coleman.  We has an array of food from chicken to turkey to some vegan thing.  For dessert we had one of Elbert's chocolate pecan pies.  It was to die for!  Hopefully we can do it again next year!

They love him!

Coleman is only 6 1/2 weeks.

Thanksgiving

I was lucky enough to have my parents come to me for Thanksgiving! They arrived the day we closed on our house. So I was able to put them to work the next day. The pictures I took of them cleaning are on the camera that David took river rafting pictures with last summer. So that means we will never see them.

On Thanksgiving, I made a reservation at Lawry's. None of us had been there before. They were having a Thanksgiving special. Tommie, Bobby, Tim, and Melissa met us there. The food was really good. I even liked the stuffing. (I only like my mom's stuffing.) We had turkey, potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, sour dough bread and lots of asparagus. Some people go Prime Rib as well. We went home after that and had pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and Elbert's banana nut pie. Yummy, as usual!

We had to break out on the party poppers at the end. It isn't an Anderson holiday with a ridiculous picture of people in paper hats. Then we watched a little football and fell asleep early.

Yummy.

Happy Turkey Day!

My holiday has been a little backwards. My holiday weekend was Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of this week. It was nice to get 3 days off in a row because I haven't even had 2 days off in a row for about 2 months. I spent that time shopping for Christmas gifts and running errands. I hate being in the mall after Thanksgiving. There is too many people there. On Thanksgiving, I worked at Blockbuster in the morning. I got paid time and a half so that was nice. I made it out to David's mom's house by 4 PM. I finally realize how far away Irving really is. Mrs. Nieman doesn't like turkey too much, so we had Cornish game hens instead. It all tastes about the same. Yummy. She made these rolls and fruit salad that was to die for! I brought a banana nut pie made by Elbert. David's step dad really enjoyed it. I kinda felt like I ate and ran, because I had to get home to sleep so I could open the Rec Center the next day. I didn't even have any time to take pictures! And you know there is always time for that. I missed my family, but I will see them for out Christmas cruise next month. Can't wait!
