Thanksgiving Recap





Wow, I don't think I've ever gotten so far behind on my blog!  Every day this week, I've had about five things I was determined to get done that never got done. 

We had such a nice Thanksgiving.  My mom was here for a week and a half.  Rebecca thoroughly enjoyed having lots of undivided Grammy time. They went out to breakfast, hung out at the bookstore, did shopping, made Christmas candy, created Christmas ornaments, and had lots of snuggle time.  Rebecca handles the separations now very well.  She doesn't get upset when Grammy leaves and knows that we'll be seeing Grammy soon.  But she certainly enjoys her Grammy while she has her! 

I took off the day before Thanksgiving, which was the first vacation day I've taken since starting at DBH. It was so nice to have five whole days off!  Instead of cooking a Thanksgiving feast, I instead made reservations.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at Tam O'Shanter, although we also had "leftovers" that I made for us to have at home.  Rebecca helped me make macaroni and cheese and cornbread dressing, and we had a honeybaked ham that we're still eating on.











On the day after Thanksgiving, my mom and I did our usual marathon of shopping.  We were at Santa Anita mall at 5:30 a.m. and didn't get home until 4:15 p.m.  We got some awesome deals!  Ramy and I were able to enjoy two date nights while my mom was here visiting.  One night, we went out for coffee and watched a movie (Precious), and the other, we had dinner at the Melting Pot and walked around at an outdoor mall.  It's nice to know that we still have plenty to talk about when we aren't accompanied by a toddler!
