I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we certainly did! I was able to take a couple of days off of work, so we flew down to Dallas Sunday morning. Jon's parents picked us up and we went to his grandparents' house for an early dinner. It ended up being a big family gathering - Jon's uncle Mark was there from Ohio, and his aunt Lynn came over for dinner. Uncle Mark made "Cinncinatti chili" - chili on top of spaghetti with raw onions on top. I had mine sans onion, but it was still quite yummy. We spent Monday morning with Jon's parents, and they took us to eat lunch at La Hacienda Ranch. It was great to have real Tex-Mex food again (Denver doesn't do Mexican well).
We headed up to my parents' house Monday evening. We ate dinner at 3 Forks for a late birthday dinner for Dad - super-yummy steaks! Tuesday and Wednesday were spent getting ready for Thanksgiving. Jon and I made 7 desserts (lemon chess pie, regular pumpkin pie, Splenda pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cranapple pie, chocolate cheesecake, and chocolate-peanut butter Buckeyes). I love the prep work for the dinner!
Thursday morning Jon, Daddy, and I left the house at 7am and drove to downtown Dallas to meet up with family friends for the Turkey Trot. We did the 3 mile walk/run. It's always a fun time - especially seeing all the dogs in the walk! Thanksgiving dinner was great - we got together with the family friends who we usually spend the holiday with - great food and great friends can't be beat! Unfortunately, Jon and I had to leave early to catch our flight back to Denver. We did have time for a game of Mexican Train dominoes before we left though! =)
