That was different to have him here a little longer than usual. Normally he comes in with his parents on Thanksgiving Day. I think he & son-in-law, Justin, enjoyed their conversations with one another. Thanksgiving morning started early -- I was up and in the shower at 5:30. Once I started making noise in the kitchen, the rest of the gang was up too. Turkey was in the oven by 6:20. The day was spent cooking, eating and enjoying family. All too soon, my brother and all of his family took off for his in-laws in Alabama. Exhaustion set in after all of the cleanup. I wasn't worth much for the rest of the day. After lunch on Friday Kristy & her family took off for home. Thankfully the trip is only about an hour and a half on a good day. So much better than the 10 hour trip to Kansas!! Today, Handyman & I drove up to the cabin to pick up a few things we needed at the house. Traffic wasn't bad and we had a nice drive. I finally made it out to one store to do some shopping today. Handyman drug a lot of the Christmas decorations out of the attic today and we put a lot of it out today. We haven't started on any trees or outdoor lights & wreaths yet. Normally we don't even start any Christmas decorations until December, but since the Thanksgiving company had left and we had a day of rest, we thought it would be a good time to decorate some. Then for supper we pretty much finished up the Thanksgiving food. We had some squash, a little turkey and some gravy left over to throw out, but I think that's it. 
I'm ready for something other than turkey tomorrow!! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday as much as I did. Tomorrow, it's off to church for the 1st Sunday in Advent and decorating the church! Here's the start of our decorating.
