I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I spent the time with my dad, two sisters, and nephew. We had the best turkey I've ever had. It was tender and moist. Oh, and I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts is the skin from the turkey. I kept eating it, as my dad kept saying, "Do you know how bad that is for you?" Of course, like any good daughter, I didn't listen.
We had all the trimmings, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, homemade stuffing (not cornbread but my mom's recipe is the best!), green bean casserole, ambrosia, and pumpkin pies. I actually forgot to make my cherry pie, but I will make it this weekend. I love desserts. I will make a pecan pie with chocolate chips for Christmas. That's my favorite..just put it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating it. Top it with whipped or ice cream. It's scrummy!
My younger sister, an NICU nurse, had to work that evening, so I took her son and two lab puppies to the dog park. We were going to go earlier, but then I wanted to finish watching the Cowboys game. By the time that ended, I went to get the dogs and got to the park, it was about 7:30 pm. I didn't think that was too late, but apparently it was. It was dark, so my nine year old nephew didn't want to go, because we were also the only ones there. I told him, it was fine, and we slowly walked to the gates. It was quite chilly outside, and we both only wore a jacket. The boys had great fun...just being outside in a wide open space, although next time we need to go earlier so they make some friends.
We didn't stay long, because it was so cold outside. My nephew and I headed back home to watch our rented Star Trek. It was great fun. Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one too. Email me your holiday stories and pictures.
