How was everyone's turkey?

So, Thanksgiving was nice! We had dinner at Brenda and Shawn's house, with a whole slew of family, including my Mom and Dad, Grammy, and Liz. Dad, Stephanie, and Hannah were also down visitng from Bullhead. And, just because the dinner was at another house, doesn't mean we didn't fire up the pit to cook a turkey of our own!!!




Friday, Thomas and I took a ride with Dad, Stephanie, and Hannah over to Bowie for some good ol' wine tasting (and buying)! Then it was off to The Thing! We were in need of a pecan roll and we figured that was the place to find it (and they did have them)! Then a loooong ride home via Ft. Grant precipitated by a failed search for Apple Annies! All in all, though, it was a fun trip!
Saturday, I bumbled off the the Craft Shows with Mom and Liz, found some really nice things for Christmas gifts (and for myself)! Meanwhile, Thomas and Dad worked on our truck which ended up needing a new fuel pump, among other things (I don't pretend to be the expert). Uuggh!
Sunday was all about decorating for Christmas and stealing Mom and Dad's furniture! Yes, Mom and Dad gave us the Prohibition Chest, a beautiful piece, along with Granny's tea service. It looks great in my dining room, if I do say so myself. Then Mom asked the lethal question: "Do you want anything else?" So, we also accquired a beautiful old red chair, and an awesome ice bucket with a stand. Oh, and a mirror... and Mom's rocking chair from when she was a little girl! Wasn't I just telling Thomas the other day that I needed to "do something" with the dining room.....?
