Thanksgiving 2008

Charlie got home on Monday and Davey and Christal came winging in Tuesday night to spend Thanksgiving with us. We had a blast...Christal brought along tofurkey so she could have a traditional Thanksgiving meal -- I supplemented with vegetarian stuffing, green beans, carrots and mashed potatoes, as well as the meat lovers' turkey and traditional gravy. I made three different kinds of pie -- pumpkin, blueberry and raspberry crumble -- and a big pan of Davey's favorite fudge for a treat.


Thank goodness Christal's arms were available...Timmy was needing cuddles just at the moment mom had to get the dinner pulled together to put on the table.



Davey is looking great these days...that gym time is really paying off!


Connor hung out like a raptor waiting for the food to appear so he could pick and choose what he would eat. He also relocated everyone's silverware to his spot at the table...we're not sure why, but he loves silverware and likes a fork whether he needs one or not.


The next day we went to all see Twilight...I loved the book series and Christal and Davey are obsessed with both the movie and the books (Christal saw it seven times so far I think). My girlfriend Breanne and I shared the books so she came along and we had a great time going to a movie. It's lucky that Timmy is so lax...he slept the entire movie and only threw up on me once. Woo hoo!

Davey and Christal ventured out bravely on Saturday to enjoy some touristy stuff like the Santa Claus House and muskox paddock at the University. They must have brought some warm weather with them because it was above zero every day they were here...and they took it back with them, because it's -22 now and on its way to -35.

Poor Charlie got sick with the black plague the past couple days so we spent today sacking out and putting up Christmas decorations while he recuperated. Stand by for some cute Christmas pics in tomorrow's post.
