Pre Thanksgiving Party

I came in to work this morning ready to go home!  It is Thanksgiving Eve for crying out loud.  People are supposed to be buying things at the grocery store (last minute - cause there is no other way).  Luckily for me I spent my morning doing some online gift shopping.  I took care of all the teenage boys in my family - so that was nice (they are always the hardest for me to shop for). 

I also bought a couple things online for the girls stockings and then at about 11:30 my boss said I was free to go home and enjoy the Holidays with my family!!  How awesome is that!  In case I haven't said it in awhile - I love my job!  I love that they are so flexible with time, and they really do put family first! 

I drove straight home and picked up the girls.  We were movie bound.  We had made tentative plans with Ceci and her kids to see Catching Fire!  We met them at the Hollywood Theatre in Pasa-Get-Down-Dena!

The movie was great!  We loved it.  (Except for the ending -of course) - but had we read the books like we were supposed to , then we would have known to expect that ending!  Needless to say - we are anxious for the next one - and yet a little more interested in reading the books!

After the movies - we headed over to my sister Erica's house and helped decorate.  We set the table for Thanksgiving and decorated the walls, fixed up the giant wreath (I wish I would have taken pictures of how great everything looked), and then just hung out with family all evening laughing and talking!  It was great.  The girls and I headed home to work on our Thanksgiving dishes at about 9pm!

I was DOG TIRED...so we didn't actually start cooking when we got home.  Instead I went straight to bed, and set my alarm to wake-up early and get to cooking! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family and eat plenty of food!  Remember - Holiday calories don't count!! LOL
