Thanksgiving 2013

Well hey y'all!  It's been a few weeks since I've blogged and I've got to say that I'm ok with it.  We just haven't been doing a whole lot lately and I haven't felt the need to document it either.  #sorrynotsorry 

 

I will say that the upcoming months seem like they will be bringing plenty to talk about.

 

Now for Thanksgiving...

 

On Wednesday my Texas family came down to spend a few nights with us.  We went to one of our fav little hole-in-the-wall restaurants for prime rib night and then came home and played a little 5 Second Rule.  I seriously can't remember the last time we all played games together.  Hell it may have been a first. 

 

   

 

Thursday I woke up to find every single cabinet door in my kitchen wide open.  I asked Graham what the hell had happened and I got the deer in the headlights look.  Then I hear my sister in the livingroom giggling while trying to fake sleep on the air mattress I splurged on for their visit.  Well played Kelly, well played. 

 

  

 

Kelly had planned on taking her family to Roswell to visit with our Dad for a while, but when she called he said that he wasn't really up for visitors and that he would call her back if he started feeling better.  In all honesty, I probably should've made it a point to try to go see him too, since his organs are beginning to shut down.  That's a story for another day though...

 

We ended up making a breakfast of green chile eggs, bacon, and biscuits instead of getting started on the Thanksgiving feast and decided we'd have it at dinner.  I spent the afternoon cooking up a storm and by the time it was finally time to eat it, we were all pretty much just over it and barely touched our plates.

 

At some point down the road I'll share the whole reason as to why our evening turned out the way it did, but I just can't at this point.  Needless to say, my sweet husband had entirely too much to drink, puked all over the pretty bushes in the backyard, and only took one bite out of a roll after I had spent hours cooking a huge freaking meal.  I was not happy.  I'm sure one day we'll laugh about it... but today ain't the day.    

Overall it was an awesome family get-together.  It was the first time my Mama had seen our new house and it was great to spend some time with some of my most favorite people!  We also built our first fire in our fireplace and I'm just excited we didn't burn the place down.  Hallelujah!
