JLEJ Family Chronicles: Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed at home and my brother and father came to celebrate the holidays with us. It was nice to see them again and have them stay with us. The big snow storm that was passing through didn't really hit us too bad though my brother Rick had to drive through the brunt of it! My dad said that his drive up from Las Vegas was nice and sunny though a bit cold. The day of Thanksgiving was nice and Jason enjoyed cooking a nice, big turkey for everyone. We served most of the traditional trimmings (mashed potatoes, salad, cranberry sauce, stuffing, rolls) with a most delicious apple and chocolate pie. Later that afternoon, after everyone was pretty much stuffed, we took a drive together just to get out of the house. This drive is becoming sort of a tradition for us on Thanksgiving Day and gives us something to look forward to. Later that evening, Jason and I spent time deciding which stores we were going to hit for Black Friday and even decided to stay up late to go to Wal-Mart (which opened at 12am). Though we didn't get anything, it was still fun to see all the shoppers in the store!
