The morning of Thanksgiving, my parents delivered me to the airport in KC, and I flew back to Colorado. I helped with a few last-minute cleaning things, and Brian's parents arrived! It was great to go from thinking about a week or so before that I wasn't going to get to see any extra family to seeing quite a few!
I can't say I remember a whole lot of what we did. We did head to Target late on Thursday night to get some Black Friday deals on dvds and towels. CU women's basketball was hosting a tournament that weekend, so we went to their game on Friday and watched them win. This was the first women's game we had been to in a while, and we realized, wow, this team has changed. The game was very exciting. This actually kicked off a devout attendance for us this season, and it has been a really fun season of basketball. The team has been ranked for many weeks now, and is currently ranked #19; we are hoping to be able to watch them play in the NCAA tournament (either on TV or maybe we'll buy tickets to the first 1 or 2 rounds that are actually being held at CU and hope they play there). But anyway, Thanksgiving.
Brian and I had never done a turkey before, and we were glad to have a reason to try it! Saturday we spent quite a bit of time preparing food, and we ended up with a lot to offer: turkey, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, baked sweet potatoes, whole wheat rolls, salad, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, and then Bruce and Pat also brought MCC Sale bohne berrogi and sauce and verenike, for which I made a ham gravy. You know any day you make three kinds of gravy is a great day! (I had also made sausage gravy for our brunch on Saturday.)
