Our first Thanksgiving as a married couple and a celebration of six months of marriage! I can't believe it's already been that long. It seems like the wedding was just a month ago, but at the same time it seems like we've been married forever!
My family came to Bourbonnais to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. A few highlights:
- Cooking my first turkey and making half of the Thanksgiving feast (It actually turned out really well!) Here are a few pictures of our food that day:
My family came to Bourbonnais to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. A few highlights:
- Cooking my first turkey and making half of the Thanksgiving feast (It actually turned out really well!) Here are a few pictures of our food that day:
- Watching the Nebraska football game against Colorado at Buffalo Wild Wings (they won!)
- Doing some shopping at Wal-Mart for our cousin's husband who is in Iraq and Mom and Dad surprising Kody and I with groceries (possibly the best part of the weekend, thanks again Mom and Dad!!)
- Playing LOTS of Wii tennis and all of us getting sore
- Having Todd and Jonathan spend the night with us every night while sharing our futon. See below:
- Getting our first Christmas tree (more on that to come)
- Playing lots of games and just spending time with the fam - Todd, Jonathan, Mom, Dad, me Kody, but we definitely missed Chris, Sarah and Elijah
- and finally ... taking Todd to the airport on Monday morning at 2:30 a.m. during the middle of a snowstorm. The sacrifices you make for family :-)
All in all, it was a great weekend with my family and we can't wait until our Christmas ski trip with the entire family!
I had fun in Portland, but I missed seeing my Aunt Katie and Uncle Kody's home. I can't wait to see you at Christmas! Oh, and did my daddy tell you that I was really hoping to get the new Gears of War 2 Xbox 360 game for Christmas?? (hint,hint...)
