It’s been a while since I’ve given a proper update, so here goes my best..

Thanksgiving was a blast.. Jenny (my stepsister) and her son Noah flew down from Spokane on the day before and we all hung out that day for a bit, but after I got home Mike was aching to go buy Rock Band, so we ventured out to Best Buy to procure it.  Got it home and played for HOURS that night.  Thursday morning we got up and got to cooking.  We were hosting (only to 4 others) dinner so it was all on me!  I put a 20lb turkey in the roaster oven and started on the rest.  We had ALL the yummy fixings.. I made macaroni & cheese (the good baked kind, with bacon and everything), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, cranberry sauce, homemade rolls and my sister brought asparagus.  My friend Michelle (from work) came and brought a chocolate tart, and it was yummy!  We all sat around and ate food, got fat.. watched Shrek The 3rd and played a lot of Rock Band and Wii.

Friday we all got up and went out to Forest Grove with Jim Goings and his family (Michelle came too) to chop down trees!  The Goings’ and Michelle were there to get Christmas trees, the rest of us were there for moral support.  It was a lot of fun though. Trees had and our bellies full (we went to Juan Colorados for dinner. yum) we headed back to Jims for MORE Rock Band.. much fun was had..

The rest of the weekend we just spent hanging out and relaxing.. Thus was Thanksgiving
