Thanksgiving



Josh and I both had a couple of days off for Thanksgiving, so we decided to pack up and head down to Brock and Chan's! We had so much fun. The baby did pretty well on the drive. The first couple hours he did really good, but by the fifth hour he was more then ready to get out of the car.

Chan and I had never cooked a turkey or been in charge of making a Thanksgiving dinner so we were both excited to get to do it together. Thanksgiving day we made up our menu and headed off to the grocery store to get all the needed items. We made a wonderful turkey, ham with a honey glaze, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cauliflower with velveeta cheese, pretzel jello, and for desert banana cream pie and cheese cake. Man did we have a lot of food for just the four of us. I must admit that i thought everything turned out wonderful and our wonderful husband only had good things to say about the meal.

Since we never really get a chance to relax, most of the trip was spent laying around watching t.v. and movies. We did however make it to the beach. The weather was wonderful and Josh Jr. loved his first time in the ocean. We can not wait to go down again so we can spend some more time at the beach and swimming in the ocean.

Some of the highlights of the trip:
Making a mess of Brock and Chan's spotless clean house! (Sorry Chan)
Jr. peeing on their brand new carpet! I guess he just wanted to break it in for their little one:)
Going to the beach.
Getting to see Brock's work.
Our thanksgiving dinner.
Our dinner by the ocean.

Thanks Brock and Chan for everything. We can't wait to come visit again.
