We went to Lorna's house for Thanksgiving. It has been so fun. Devin, Emily, and Caleb came from Idaho. We spent the morning catching up while cooking. We then ate a fairly traditional meal, with the traditional 1 pie per adult allotment.
We played with the kids for a while and then put them to bed. The boys networked their computers and played a war game. Todd says I was a widow many times over. But they had fun. The girls played the wii: it was a fast past game with lots of silly moves. We even made our own miis to look like us.
We then played an interesting game of Settlers--as couples. You could tell Devin and Emily hasn't been married as long as some of the rest of us. They will get there. In the end, Todd and I won, but it was a close game. We then stayed up until 2 in the morning telling stories. Todd was laughing so hard he was crying. And he wasn't the only one.
It has been so fun to just be with family: no drama, no uncomfortableness, just love and laughter, memories and fun. It has been one of the nicest family function we have been to recently and definitely has soothed our souls and prepared us to take on the world for a little while longer.
