Thanksgiving...

I'm very happy to report that we had a very great Thanksgiving, both here at my mom's house and at Jose's mom's house. :)

Dinner here was very relaxed and low-key. Its always nice seeing my sisters and my niece. We ate here at home around 1:30, and then around 3:00pm, we headed over to my suegra's.

I'm am so damned proud of myself. I cooked 10 pounds of mashed potatoes, baked a ham, made deviled eggs, and got the corn, stuffing, gravy, biscuits, and sweet potatoes ready!! Girls, I don't cook. EVER. And I've never made dinner for 20+ people!! LoL, it was craziness. Everyone was so grateful and kept telling me how good everything was. It felt nice to be so appreciated. LoL, Jose's family isn't usually very appreciative.

My comadre cooked both of the turkeys. She did a great job, too! Mmmm... the turkey was damned good. We didn't even finish ONE turkey, though, so there's a whole turkey sitting in my suegra's fridge. I guess we'll be eating lots of leftovers!

Speaking of leftovers, this morning we went back to my suegra's and I made ham and turkey tortas for everything. Yum, yum, yum!! I took my suegra to Wal-Mart after eating, and then me and Jose brought the girls to my mom's and we spent the afternoon the the casino.

I usually hate going to the casino with a PASSION but we both ended up having a blast. I've missed being able to go out and have fun with Jose! Its sooo nice having him around. Unfortunately, he is leaving again on Monday. BUT, he'll be back mid-December for 2 weeks! YAY!

I didn't do much Black Friday shopping other than the Gymboree order I did on-line Wednesday night. I told Jose on Wednesday morning that we could go do whatever the heck he wanted as long as we were home before 10pm, which is about when the sale was supposed to start! :) It looks like the order it going to be shipped out on Monday, so maybe I'll get it by the end of the week.

I hope you all had a wonderful week and (for those that celebrate it) a Happy Thanksgiving!
