What a busy Thanksgiving holiday we have had! We started the holiday Wednesday by visiting with Meemaw and Papaw in Bedias. On Thursday we feasted on turkey and all the seasonal sides lovingly prepared by Meemaw and had a great nap! Well, it was an okay nap because I had a nightmare that instead of my new palace of a home, we had bought some dirty run down house and Robert just kept telling me that this was all we could find and to make the best of it. Boy was I ever glad to wake up! Especially glad to wake up because Meemaw had made pumpkin cheesecake. After dessert, we packed it up to go visit Granny and Papaw in Montgomery.
Friday, Aunt Becky was channeling Julia Child and whipped up a french feast of Beef Bourgoune, yeast rolls and apple cake. Another good nap, this time nightmare free, and then my mom washed all the cats! Maybe we should make that part of the holiday tradition.
Saturday - Saturday was spent celebrating the 40th wedding anniversary of Meemaw and Papaw. We had a party in Bedias and fun was had by all. 40 years is such an accomplishment these days where it seems people get divorced after the "new" wears off. It was so touching to see the entire family surrounding these two special people. I hope that I am that blessed 35 years from now. Saturday night, we had dinner with my parents at the best restaurant in town. They left for El Paso early Sunday morning. Cooper was sad to wake up and see that they were gone but he learned about the magical land of El Paso where Granny and Pawpaw now live.
Sunday was spent resting (Family can sure wear you out) and decorating our Christmas tree. Cooper was so excited and helped me put all the balls on. He really loves the fiber optic Angel on top (thanks Pawpaw). I put out some other decorations, but not the whole shebang because we are moving in two weeks. Once we move in I will have six days to get ready for Christmas in our new house. I will be happy as long as we have a tree to put the presents under and good food to share.
I am getting tired just writing about these last five days and I still have to take great Granny to the store today!
