Thanksgiving at Mommer’s

Cat and I spent our Thanksgiving with Cat’s family in Allentown.  We enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal with Mommer’s, Michael, Devan, Cat and I.  Mommer’s made all the usual Thanksgiving dishes including some homemade cranberry sauce, my personal favorite!

Mommer’s opted for a roast over the turkey because of this Sarah Palin / turkey slaughter video:

Otherwise, I enjoyed the time with the in-laws and Cat with her laws.  Mommer’s picked a fight with Fluffy saying “who are you looking at” and we brought Cat’s black Christmas stocking in preparations for decorating.

Thanksgiving at Aunt Sherri’s

Cat and I joined our family at my Aunt Sherri’s for an early Thanksgiving dinner.  It was really a great time.

Here is the fam sans Tyler.  He was playing outside at the time.  But I weaseled him into a picture with me!

It is our tradition that we go around the table to say what we are all thankful for.  Many of us were thanksful for Pappy and his legacy aong with Mammal and how she has handled the loss of her husband.  A few were thankful for Barack Obama but the general theme was family.

I was thankful for being able to tell pappy truly what I thought about him and his value to my life a couple weeks before he died, for being able to see a different side of mammal, and to be married to my beautiful, talented, and all around amazing wife.

Cat was similarly thankful for me, cough cough, and expressed her admiration for the in-laws obviously love and caring for one another and towards her.

Cristian spoke last and announced that Sabrina was nearly nine weeks pregnant!  What a wonderful surprise.  She goes in for her first doctor’s appointment on Tuesday.  We are all very excited and keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
