Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have loved doing new recipes each year while we continue to grow as cooks. This year Justin grilled the turkey outside which was a learning experience for us in it self! Our propane tank ran out sometime during the cooking of it so needless to say turkey was done around 10pm so it was a late dinner. We had all the side dishes cooked and ready hours before that so we just waited on the turkey. But we managed to keep ourselves entertained with Mario Brothers on the Wii and broke out the old school Battleship board game. My mom drove up from Houston the day before to be with us. I love when we get to spend long weekends together- I absolutely cherish that time! For Black Friday we went out in the afternoon but I totally do not have the patience for all the madness so it was a short lived excursion. That night our downtown had the Christmas lighting ceremony. Santa and Mrs. Claus were there taking pics. There were carolers and carriage rides. We waited for awhile for the fireworks but they did not do the show while we were there. Usually we can see them from our front yard but for some reason we could not this time. We woke up early on Saturday headed to Dallas to meet friends for the Tech vs Baylor game at the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. The stadium is huge and unbelievable! Luckily Tech pulled off a win but it was very close game! We got to see my friends from college and really enjoyed catching up with them! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We send all of our love and hope everyone has a good week coming up after such a great weekend! xoxo~G and J
