Thanksgiving 2012

     This Thanksgiving was spent with my blood family and family that is not blood related.  But blood does not always define what family is.  I was with my husband, children, and one of my best friends and her son.  We had a drama-free Thanksgiving.  Huck fried two turkeys that were delicious!  Tiffany and I worked on the side dishes.
     Before we all ate our dinner (late lunch, early dinner), we tried to have Elijah say blessing for us.  He just stood there...silent...not knowing what to say.  We had Huck say the blessing...a super quick one and we told Elijah he could say it next year.  Everything was super delicious.  We had turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole and delicious sweet tea.  We had the table set but we all ate in the living room...not all...the kids were in the 'man cave' and the adults sat in the living room.  It was a very nice holiday.
     I thought I would not do much school work over the week long break...but I was wrong.  Once I sat down and realized how much I had done this upcoming week I knew that I had to get it done right away.  So the day after Thanksgiving the work started.  I had written my Utopia paper the weekend before Thanksgiving and now I had a paper on women in Postwar Suburbia, a seven page summary/response to the Navy SEAL book No Easy Day, 2000 words written for my memoirs and an Andy Warhol paper, PowerPoint and art project.  I have finished all but the last piece mentioned.  I have started my research for the Warhol piece but have not started writing yet.  I believe I am going to do a zombie Warhol canvas and give it to Christian when my presentation is over.
     School starts back up tomorrow so I will cut this blog short for now.  I am looking forward to my Christmas Break which starts December 14.

Blessings to all.
