Thanksgiving

I know it's a week late, but I just wanted to leave a quick blog about how my Thanksgiving went. As I mentioned before, I we spent Wednesday night though Sunday at Jenny and Aaron's house. On Wednesday night, we watched some movies and stayed up late.
On Thanksgiving, I got up and went shooting with my brother-in-law Frank. We sighted in his new gun for an upcoming cayote hunt. It was fun to shoot. We also shot is .337 magnum. Man, that felt like someone was kicking you in the hand when you'd shoot it. When shooting the .337 special ammo, it was much better. I also put about 100 rounds through my 9mm.
After I got back, Trisha made a chocolate sheet cake to bring to her extended family's Thanksgiving. The cake turned out quite well, but I didn't get to try any. We went to the Thanksgiving party at around 4. It was just an OK experience this year. There was some drama going on, and we ended up leaving at one point and coming back, and then leaving somewhat early. I only ate Turkey and Celery, so it wasn't really great food for me... Plus Trisha ate some really bland mashed potatoes.
After Trisha's family's party, we went back to Jenny and Aaron's. Aaron had prepared a good spread for us to have. Homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey, green bean casserole, yams, the works! I (again) stuck with the turkey and had a bit of green bean casserole. I decided earlier that I wanted to eat more than that, so I bought some asparagas and cauliflower. I roasted the asparagas with butter and parmesean cheese and steamed the cauliflower and then mashed it to make a substitute for the mashed potatoes. Overall, it was a good dinner. After dinner was done, it was quite late, and everyone started crashing. Trisha and I had a tubby together in the giant tub in the master bedroom! That was fun!
We slept in on Friday and went to a movie in the afternoon. We actually saw 2 movies, Twilight and Four Christmases. Twilight was good for the most part. The script and acting could have used some help, but it was enjoyable. Four Christmases was pretty funny too. Of course, parts of it were over the top, but that's typical. Vince Vaughn is just so funny!
I don't remember what we did Saturday.
On Sunday, Trisha had a migraine, and she didn't sleep well for most of the day, so after I woke up, she finally fell asleep. I played COD5 for a good chunk of the day and then helped clean up before Jenny's family came for her birthday party. We left shortly after they got there and went home and relaxed.
All in all, a good weekend.
