Our 7-11 Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend up in Colorado visiting with family and meeting family for mom. We left after work on Wednesday and got there early afternoon on Thursday. We ate snacks for lunch as the plan was to watch the Kansas City/Denver football game and order pizza. We were planning our big Thanksgiving dinner on Friday when the whole family would be there (so mom thought). We ended up going to 7-11 for some taquitos to tide us over till dinner. Well dad's aunt and uncle come over for the game with popcorn, apples and pie since all the pizza places were closed. Which would sound great if you stuffed yourselves for lunch and just want something lite for dinner. Well since we were pretty hungry we run back out and the only thing open was 7-11 so we grabbed some more taquitos for dinner. The dinner on Friday turned out to be at the nursing home so on the menu was taco pie, fish and macaroni and cheese. So needless to stay this is the most hungry we have ever been over a Thanksgiving weekend. But we were there with the best company - family!

Us girls were debating about going shopping early in the morning. But the whole family just ended up going later in the morning on Friday. We went to a model train museum on Saturday morning that is still in the process of being built. Dad's uncle knew the owner so we got a private tour. It is amazing the amount of detail that goes into the scenes.

We headed out of town Saturday after lunch and made it home around 1:30pm on Sunday. Mom promptly went to the store, bought food and we had our own Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday night complete with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos and green bean cassarole. Didn't have time to make pies so we just had chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

The family with grandma. You can't tell in this picture but we look forward to welcoming a new member in the family in the middle of January!
