ThanksGiving

Here are a few photos from the day...

Thanksgiving was very relaxing. We went to my sisters house - and we only had to bring two items.. very easy this year - apple CIDER and fried corn. Jeff makes a mean fried corn (fried w. onions, green/red peppers) in olive oil.. it is DELISH and was a big hit @ dinner... Hank made a Happy Thanksgiving sign that my sister hung up on her window!

We hung out, watched a little bit of football.. Hank gave a music concert! My sister had a few boxes of old photos from the 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90's - we all had such a blast going through those photos - good times, i tell ya good times! What a great idea! Jen and Phil came down last night and spent the night - Jen is going shopping with my mom today. The boyz and I are going to a Hockey Game today (free tix {long story} to see the Phx Coyotes play the Co Avalanche this afternoon!
We came home, full and tired... Jeff, Hank and I started feeling a bit sick again later in the evening.. maybe that ol' flu bug has not quite left the house yet.
I am sitting here in the early morning, the house is still asleep and all is quiet. I am reflecting on the day ahead and thinking how Thankful I am to be here - We are truly blessed with a great number of friends and family -

We will be putting up our lights and tree this weekend! I am so excited, I may even get into the Christmas spirit! it sometimes takes me a while to fully emerge into Christmas... as i do stress about lists, gifts, money, etc.. once I put it all down on paper and have it planned, my mind can relax... does anyone else have that problem? It can't just be me!

Hope your Thanksgiving was as wonderful as ours!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from the Peterson Zoo. We woke up this morning and watched some of the Macy's day Parade... Will made cinnamon buns while Jeff cooked hot jimmy dean's! yummy! Will made his "World Famous" Peanut butter balls to bring to Auntie Sue's for the holiday. We are all just recovering from being sick.. no idea what happened but the vomit bug blew threw our house - on Tuesday and we all got very very sick! Thankfully we are feeling better just now today...

Hank is busy making a HAPPY Thanksgiving sign to bring to the party!

I am so glad we are not cooking alot today, since we were all so very sick! We started this blog today for our families.. to keep in touch. Jeff's step-dad Larry is going to Afghanistan this coming Tuesday for a whole year! We will use this blog to keep him in touch with our daily life! We pray for a safe journey and will pray for you every day Larry!

Stay tuned for daily happennings... All family members will be posting to our blog...
