We packed the car and headed to Laurens for our annual Thanksgiving feast at mom's. CJ, the kids and I arrived Wednesday evening after work. My brother, Derek, was also coming home for Thanksgiving, but would be getting into town late Wednesday night, since he had to wait until he got off work.
We did go uptown to have a "cocktail or two" and see who was out and who came home for Thanksgiving! Derek kept saying that the kids we were seeing in there could not possibly be old enough to drink -- that would mean he was getting old!! I know how he felt! Some of those kids were babies last time I saw them!!! We did stay up really late visiting, but were much better behaved than last Thanksgiving! I did get up and help Mom in the kitchen early on Thanksgiving morning and was able to enjoy my dinner!!! It was a nice visit, but too short, as always... we stayed for the football games, then headed back to Sioux City. Looking forward to the Christmas holidays... hope to see more relatives!!
