Thanksgiving Weekend 2010

We spent Thanksgiving this year with just the three of us. It was a good day. I cooked southern cornbread chicken and dressing with gravy, apple-glazed pork tenderloin (that was yummy--we didn't do turkey), tater tot casserole, fried okra, black-eyed peas, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and a oreo cake. Every thing was great except the oreo cake.. the icing was a bit too rich. Don't recommend the recipe I had for that one..:) Grace even helped with the cooking and it was a VERY special time for both of us! It was also a relaxing day with the exception of Adam having to work every night through Thanksgiving.

On Friday, Holly F. and I (with our girls) went Black Friday SHOPPING!! It was fun. We didn't get up super early, just when Grace got up we left. I got some really great deals for Christmas that I was very happy with.

On Saturday, we all put up the Christmas tree. Grace really got excited and actually helped this year, with the decorating. She just LOVED it! I let her put ornaments on the tree and of course they were all going in one spot :) So I was reminding her we have to move around the tree. You will see in the pics:) We listened to Christmas music and had great family time.

On Sunday, me, Adam, and Grace went out to eat with the Frasures and the Dunn's for lunch. We went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Jefferson Mall Food Court. We walked around together as Adam was looking for a pair of sunglasses. (FYI- he got contacts so he needed non-prescription sunglasses). This was fun as the guys goofed on trying on different crazy sunglasses! We just love these two families!

It was a great Thanksgiving weekend!
