Thanksgiving Weekend

I have no pictures from Thanksgiving weekend this year, but it was wonderful. The week started off on not such a great note. Justin went to install the first sale of the new product he has been working on and the product did not work correctly. He was four hours away from the shop he works out of, so it made fixing the problem very difficult. He was supposed to be home Tuesday evening, but didn't make it home until Wednesday. This bumped our traveling plans to Thursday morning. I was grateful to have him home Wednesday, and he was glad to be home but was not happy about how the week had gone thus far.

We set out Thursday morning to Ontario. The sun was out and the roads were beautiful as we drove the six hours. Thanksgiving dinner was yummy as always and there were 31 people in attendance at my parents home. This made for a tight squeeze at the tables, but we all survived. Friday and Saturday were filled with shopping, games, movies, conversations and relaxation.

Highlight of the weekend was just getting to be with my parents and siblings and see my nieces and nephes, and of course the pie. My family always goes a little overboard on making pies for Thanksgiving. Then we eat it the rest of the weekend for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not healthy, I know, but it is yummy! Justin went black Friday shopping and we actually got most of our Christmas shopping done.

Things that frustrated me about the weekend- We both got colds and are still fighting them off, BOO!

It was a wonderful weekend that went by quickly. As Justin put it though when we arrived home on Sunday, "It is so hard to leave, but always great to get home."

We are now looking forward to our first Christmas season in the Portland area.
