Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving was our first together as a married couple! We have decided that we are going to try to spend every other holiday with Sean's family, so Easter was with the Szekely's which meant that Thanksgiving was with the Davis family. My parents had originally decided to go to Syracuse to be with Peter and Erin for the holiday, but Peter wanted to come to MI. So my parents and Peter and Erin flew into Detroit and drove over to Kalamazoo the Tuesday before.

Wednesday was a fun-filled day of wrestling, shopping, getting nails done, and baking! Peter and Sean went to Paw Paw wrestling practice in the morning, then Erin, my mom, the Krenk girls, and I went to get our toes beautified! Then home to bake cookies, cheesecake, and these really yummy tarts!

Thursday I cooked the turkey all by myself! Sean had to work at Sear's in the morning, so before my family came over I set the table, made broccoli casserole, and made sure the rolls were rising properly. Then I met my family and Sean at Sweet Water's donuts (yes, they were actually open!) for a quick breakfast before dinner. The other things that we had were sauteed veggies, corn, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, Sean's yummy rolls, apple salad, and of course, TURKEY!! Then we went to Sean's parents' house for dessert!

Friday morning Sean needed to at Sear's by 3:30am!! He had a filling fall out, and he woke me up in a panic thinking it was part of his tooth. After that I couldn't fall back asleep, so I decided to do some Black Friday shopping. I got my first pair of snow boots for $15 at Burlington Coat Factory!! The women's sizes were too big, so I had to get the children's size, but hey it saved me $5 which I then used to buy some DVDs at Target where were on UBER sale! But I'm not going to post about Christmas presents here because they are a secret! I had to work Friday night at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum so the family came in to see the Race: Are we so different? exhibit, and see our Pink Floyd laser show. They got to see about 20 minutes of the laser show and then the cooling system in our planetarium broke so it wouldn't work anymore!

Saturday, Peter went to wrestling practice again, and then we chatted some at the hotel before the family headed back to Detroit.

It was a wonderful visit, and as Sean said, it was really nice but too short!

Pictures will be posted soon, or you can see them on Facebook, Sean and I are tagged in a few that my mom posted!
