Friday 26~~~~~Today is the day we celebrate Thanksgiving with Kent's daughters and their families. We left for Portland early so we could get the bird all stuffed and in the oven so we could eat at a decent time. Kent and I made the stuffing last night after we got home from Thresa's house, I do the chopping and Kent does the mixing and dumping of the ingredients. He makes his stuffing with Italian sausage and it is really good. Kent's daughter Dee Dee and her husband Tony have moved into a new home closer to where the girls go to school, we saw it right after they moved into it and Dee Dee since then has removed a lot of wall paper, painted and had new light fixtures put in, completely changing the looks of what it was when they bought it. It is so nice and roomy for entertaining for holiday dinners, I love the way she has decorated it. Cindy and Dee Dee fixed some wonderful hordevors we enjoyed eating while watching the football game and visiting waiting for the bird to cook. The turkey and stuffing was delicious as usual, Kent does a fantastic job of cooking it. Kent only has two children and 4 grandchildren, it is a real change from the houseful we have when my family of 5 children and 11 grandchildren comes over. Of course we all ate way too much, but isn't that what holidays are all about???? It really rained hard on the way home, it was nice to be dry and warm in the comfort of our own home after a busy holiday with both of our families we love so much. Now we have Christmas to look forward to.
