I cooked a turkey and ham and some veggies and everyone else brought the rest to fill out our thanksgiving dinner.
The weather was so nice that after our dinner we decided to go for a walk around gold park park. Then we came home and enjoyed some yummy pumpkin muffins and some slightly undercooked apple pie.
On Sunday we celebrated my birthday. I turned the big 33 this year.
My sister made a surprise cake....yup, she made me a rainbow cake! I've seen this done before and I've wanted to make one, I will someday. My sister put alot of time and prep into this cake and it turned out great and tasted fantastic. One thing to note...Duncan Hines is the preferred icing over Betty crocker.
I received some great gifts. Megan did this drawing for me. Later I asked her to color it which she did and it really makes it stand out even more. I think she looks like me don't you? Maybe it's me in Japanimation....
My mother gave me a white blanket that the kids have prompted taken over. I once called them polar bears when they were wearing it. So now it will be known as "polar bear, polar bear" blanket.
My sister (and brother in law) is so good to me as she listened carefully to things that we often talk about on the phone. I told her about a cookbook that I was interested in at Costco and she got it for me. It is the Quinoa cookbook; She also got me a package of Quinoa to go with it. I was thinking that I would become like that movie "Julie & Julia" and try every recipe. If I do that I will post my results and updates.
My hubby is also very good to me. I told him that I was thinking about cancelling my gym membership and just staying home to exercise since we already have a treadmill. The gym lifestyle just doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore. But in order for me to do this I was thinking about getting a small tv for just in front of the treadmill that I would be able to watch effortlessly. I really enjoy it.(I now run for my 30 minutes without feeling much pain.) So he jumped right on it and we also ended up getting a new tv for the family as well. Welcome to the 21st Century! Now we are living a little higher life. Spencer enjoys the tv for all the neat things that they can do now. I just enjoy being able to watch a tv without having to whack it to get the picture back. It's a much more enjoyable experience.
Lots of love and celebration this thanksgiving weekend!
