Thanksgiving

This years thanksgiving started as all great days do.

I was able to sleep in until 10 and then wander into the living room to have a little breakfast.

Biscuits and gravy. Heck ya.

Then the lovely lady I share my days with went to work to walk the dogs who were left at the doggy daycare/boarding kennel for the thanksgiving holiday.

Since she does not read these, I must confess, I then crawled back into the bed with my dogs and took a little nap.

After my fantastic nap, I got up, put on my happy pants, the pants that make me happy and happen to be extra stretchy for any unexpected holiday belly growth, and cleaned the house a little bit just in case anyone was to come over at any point in the day.

Once Tynia got off work we began the real day. We jumped in her little blue car and started on our way to her Aunts house. We simply could not find our way there since I had never been there and she had not been in years, only because we never do holidays there.

Once we got there, and said hello to everyone there, we got to eat. Turkey, ham, enchiladas, stuffing, beans. All the yummies on one plate. Then another. But not another since we still had an entire other thanksgiving feast to attend.

After chit chat with her family ended, we jumped back into the car, with full bellies, and drove to my grandparents house.

My grandparents don't cook much anymore. Rather they buy foods, then reheat them. Like this year, how the purchased a thanksgiving feast from Rudy's in El Paso the day before and then reheated the food in/on the oven.

Either way, the food was pretty damn delicious. And and and they always have all the pies. After a few plates and a couple slices of pie, Tynia declared that she wished to part-take in the black friday festivities.

Not my cup of tea, but I agreed anyway. We went to the mall and to the clothing stores that she simply had to get clothes from.

All in all, the shopping was not terrible, in no way was it anything as terrible as in large cities.

Once we got home, Tynia requested that we put up the christmas tree and lights.

Like any sucker, I agreed.

The night ended in a twinkling glow from the christmas tree.
