Thanksgiving

We began Thanksgiving morning with yummy homemade pumpkin waffles. Nicholas began chopping veggies for Thanksgiving dinner while we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I was a little sad to see everyone on the TV all bundled up when it was pushing 80 degrees here in Austin.
We went over to Nicholas' parents house for Thanksgiving dinner with 16 or so other friends and family members. After the turkey was carved, everyone enjoyed a fabulous spread of delectable dishes: potatoes, cole slaw, cranberry sauce, five cup salad, roasted butternut squash, candied sweet potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, stuffing, and Italian meatballs.
Fortunately, the cold front rolled in just in time for us to sit down to eat and dropped the temperature 30 degrees. There was, of course, a lot of football watching, lots of conversation, and delicious desserts.
After a long day, we headed over to the Turmans' house to watch the UT vs. A&M game, of which I will speak no more. It was a wonderful day!
