Thanksgiving was awesome!

As the header says, Thanksgiving was awesome! My brother in law got to be home with his family for the holiday and is feeling better, I made an awesome sweet potato casserole, and we had a lot of fun at BJ's mom's house. It feels wierd to think of her as the mother in law. She was making Thanksgiving lunch for all the people's in her house, so BJ and I came too and brought the sweet potato casserole and a bottle of champagne. If you got to try the sweet bubbly at my wedding, it was the same thing. I like that particular brand. And, unlike wine, I can drink a whole glass without losing all cognitive thought. Wine goes straight to my head after a few sips. I was the camera monster for the holiday. I realized how many awesome and amazing pictures I have from the wedding and am putting together a sweet scrapbook of all the pics. So I decided to take pictures and make other scrapbooks too, sort of to chronicle our lives together now that we are married. I don't have a lot of pictures from before the wedding. I think it comes from a combination of being camera shy and lazy. *sorry Mom* I took over 60 pictures. I'm trying to figure out how my sister Nicki does it. She's very unobtrusive and she takes some really awesome pictures. She gave me a couple right after the wedding which were awesome, and I'm waiting...patiently I swear...to see the rest. : ) Anyhows...Check these pictures out.

I took this one in the car while I was waiting for BJ to come back out. We had to turn around and go back because we forgot the champagne.
BJ and Roxana lauging at Eric's joke.

I watched a Thanksgiving special episode on take home chef where he showed everyone how to carve a bird so as to leave behind as little meat as possible. So when Sonya yelled out, "Who wants to carve the turkey!?" I volunteered and tested my television education. It worked remarkably well, I was very happy and impressed by it. The meat pulled away from the bone and all I left behind me were the bones! GO ME!
Now I am working on my holiday projects. Since it is our first Christmas as married folk, and BJ and I don't have any stockings, I am making our stockings! They will be very americana craft / homemade look in their design. I promise there will be pictures when I am finished. I am fine tuning the puppets for the snow queen now. Add a feather here, glue a bit of felt there. We open on Friday!!!! Production shots of the sweet puppets I built are to come, promise!
