Thanksgiving

We headed to Springdale last Tuesday to spend Thanksgiving at Scott's sister's house. Since they have a new baby, we decided to have Thanksgiving at their house. So we packed up what seemed like our entire kitchen and headed out. On Monday, I had told one of my coworkers that I thought I was getting sick and when I woke up Tuesday morning I knew it was true. As each day went by, the worse I felt and the more I couldn't breathe when I woke up each morning. Here I am a week later, and I'm still not back to 100%.

I got talked into making homemade rolls and cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving. I had it all planned out. Make the dough on Tuesday, roll out the dough on Wednesday, and cook the food on Thursday. Of course, this didn't exactly work out as planned. When I went to roll out the dough at 3pm on Wednesday, I realized that it didn't get mixed up well enough and it was ruined. So at 4pm on Wednesday I made another batch of dough and rolled out the cinnamon rolls and rolls at 11:30 pm. I was exhausted, but they turned out AWESOME if I do say so myself!

All in all Thanksgiving dinner was GREAT!!!

We came home on Friday so Scott could watch football and my parents came down and spent the night. Mom and I did a little shopping, but didn't buy much. Saturday was spent relaxing and watching the Hogs beat LSU. Scott is dying to go to the Sugar Bowl is the Hogs go...guess we will wait and see.....
