Got up early to finish cooking my contributions to Thanksgiving dinner
Packed it and the family all up and drove an hour and a half to my aunt's house in a town south of Fort Worth
Ate too big a dinner
Hung out, played with my cousins' kids, visited with the kinfolks
Went across town to go on a tour of my maternal grandparents' former house, which has been updated and remodeled but looks a lot like we remembered
Hung out some more
Packed up leftovers and drove home with husband and son back to our town, through little ice/sleet pellets, snow and rain that wasn't predicted on the weather. Listened to early part of the Cowboy game while driving.
Came home. Unpacked leftovers. Cleaned up after pets.
Checked in here on the boards.
Went out for a walk all bundled up against the cold.
Watched my husband and son pick at leftover turkey, dressing, and other goodies as they watched the last quarter of the football game, marveling at the fact that they can quite literally eat constantly.
Ate a small plate of leftovers myself
Fell asleep on top of an electric throw my little sitting room, where I was trying to get away from football noise on the big TV in the den. Woke up toasty warm with two Chihuahuas sitting on me.
Now I wish I had a piece of pumpkin or apple pie instead of the leftover desserts we do have. I didn't make a pumpkin pie, and I sent the apple home with my parents.
Am considering bundling up and going out for another walk to look at the Christmas lights, but my husband and son don't want me to go alone (and are too stuffed and lazy to go with me).
