Happy Thanksgiving!

In just a couple of hours I will be braving the roads to Wisconsin (with the company of the lovely E) for a few days of hanging out at my parent's house. I am looking forward to what will surely be a fantastic feast tomorrow but more than the food, I am looking forward to a couple of days of just resting. I am sure that tomorrow will be a busy day of preparation but it's never a stressful time in our house and there will be plenty of time to just sit and enjoy each other's company.
When we arrive tonight we are finally going to go out to celebrate my fabulous father's 60th birthday (his birthday was earlier this month). My mom has talked about going out to breakfast on Friday and then she is leaving for Minnesota. Otherwise, there are no plans for the weekend. I intend to take full advantage of my mother's kitchen to make my own turkey for use in soups and stuff all winter and to do a bit of my own holiday baking prep (yeah for things you can make and then freeze!). I also fully intend that Saturday will be a day of football, movies and pizza for my dad and I and I can't wait!
This year, I am thankful for a wonderful family and a place to go that is restful and peaceful.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
