I did skip Eric's game this morning because I did not think my body would appreciate entering society again by sitting in the cold(ish) drizzle. But I managed to make it to my family and Eric's family and hopefully I did not infect anyone. I have to admit, my family was a bit concerned about catching H1N1 from me. For example, me: Mom, do you need any help in there? Mom: Not from you! Hahaha....oh well, I won't complain, I get to sit around and do nothing and not looking like an ungrateful child. Sounds good to me!
Time for some Thanksgiving...
My mom made this gorgeous centerpiece, it's got real cranberries on the bottom and some serious BC colors on the top!
The Food Begins with some sweet potatoes...
My favorite...
My second favorite...
All together now...
See the free spot above? That's because everyone was scared to sit next to me. They claimed it was a special empty spot for "Eric" haha, yeah right!
For dessert I had a very small piece of lemon meringue pie (and took a bigger slice home to eat when I didn't have to worry as much about my tummy)
Next, I headed up to see Eric's family where there were a lot of dogs attacking small children going on...
And some sleeping if you can see in the background (too much night before Thanksgiving fun?). Also I love this picture below...
It kind of looks like the two of them have been drinking a little bit too much. I'm not going to lie, that has been known to happen on holidays, but today both of these two cousins have not had a sip to drink. They still look like they are have though, which makes it amusing.
Thanksgiving was very low key and relaxed this year for me, but it was just what I needed after 5 days on the couch. How was everyone's Thanksgiving? If you didn't celebrate Thanksgiving then I hope you had an awesome Thursday!
Time to go avoid online shopping. There are just so many good deals going on right now!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you were feeling better in time to enjoy Thanksgiving! Mmm, those pics are making me HUNGRY!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I'm glad you are feeling better! Too funny about everyone being afraid of catching H1N1 from you. But, like you say... it's a built-in excuse to relax.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pictures! Just a guess, based on the pictures- Eric's family is more relaxed and casual than yours?? If so, that's how it is for us- only my family is the more relaxed, casual one. Makes for some fun(ny) family get-togethers when you get both families together!
glad you're feeling better! that lemon pie looks awesome! can you tell pie is my fave part of thanksgiving? haha
ReplyDeleteHaha, we both have relaxed and casual families, my mom just likes to set up a beautiful dining room table- the dinner conversation did not really fit in the environment haha
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great Thanksgiving meal with your family! I love that center piece that your mom made, what a creative idea! Glad your feeling better, I can't believe you had the dreaded piggy flu!
