Vegas Traditions

Hello, everyone, happy Thanksgiving!

Jess has been nice enough to let me continue my tradition of going to Vegas for thanksgiving. We showed up Wednesday and got to hang out with the kitties for a bit before getting to sleep and getting ready for the big day.

Thanksgiving was, as you would expect, a total blast. Jeanne made a Martha-stewart worthy turkey, and there was stuffing and 'taters and all sorts of extras. Further awards to go Grandma Warner's Cranberry Sauces. My favorite part of the feast. After that we played Farkle and Apples to Apples, which was a lot of fun. Then we went out to a late showing of Ninja Assasin. Quick review: A thoroughly silly movie with lots of overblown action and blood. It was fun to watch, though, and that's really what counts.

Friday Jess and I got up early and went running. Have to burn off that egg nog somehow. Then I came back and made Egg Nog french toast for everyone. Extra thanks to Sandlin for that recipe. It continues to be a perennial favorite. We went over to see Lacy and Mark and their new house. We helped them decorate for Christmas, too. After that, Marc decided he wanted to buy himself a PS3, and so we got him an early Christmas present: Rock band. We played a little, then did some sequence and came home.

Which brings us to today. We set up Jeanne's house with some decorations, Jess made some Guacamole, and later I'm making Krub. I might make some bread, too, just because it's fun. Practice my cinnamon rolls for Alaska.

Anyway, much love to everyone. Hope you're having festive times.
