It should come at no surprise that I'm behind in the blogging world.
Thankful #1: I'm thankful that I'm not behind in the school world.
I'd be thankful that I wasn't behind in the clean-house world, but that simply isn't true. Instead,
Thankful #2: I'm thankful that I don't have a breakdown when the house isn't clean for a few days.
Back to business. Thanksgiving happened. Almost 2 weeks ago. Here's how it went down for us.
My mom is an amazing cook. Because we went to Blue's parents' for Thanksgiving last year, I was really looking forward to a traditional Brown family Thanksgiving. It was a small group, just my parents, my grandma, and Blue and me. Little Brother ditched us to go to California. Weirdo.
This is the spread. The beautiful, beautiful spread.
Thankful #4: I'm glad my mom can cook and passed her skills to me.
And for a close-up, here's the green bean casserole. Crunchy French fried onions and all.
Thankful #5: I'm thankful for French fried onions. Unhealthiness and all.
And here's the group, minus Blue who was taking the picture.
Thankful #6: I'm thankful for my lovely, weird-in-our-own-special-way, family.
My mom even got out her fancy china for the occasion.
Now while fancy china is all and good, I'll take this opportunity to say this.
Thankful #7: I'm thankful that china is out of fashion so that I didn't have to register for it for our wedding. It's pretty, but somewhat impractical if you only use it twice a year.
Here we are partaking of the goodness.
Thankful #8: I'm thankful that I didn't explode after eating all that good food.
After eating we decided to educate grandma in the fine art of Mariokart Wii. Blue was baffled that a woman who knows how to drive (and still does, except on the freeway, but that's a story for another time) could not figure out how to go the right direction.
Thankful #9: I'm glad my grandma is a good sport and didn't mind me laughing at her distress.
What a wonderful time of year, those days where I don't have to go to school.
Looks delicious and fun!!
