1. It was my parents' 45th wedding anniversary YESTERDAY, which my mom informed me of when I called this evening to wish them a happy anniversary. Oops. Well. 45 years to be married is an awesome accomplishment and priviledged are we to have been a witness to even a small portion of such a great marriage. So Happy Anniversary, my mom and dad and thank you. Big party in five years in Austin. Wooo!!!
2. We had our First Annual Weekend-Before-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving celebration today since Sammy always spends the actual holiday at her mom's. We had a great time, our guests were fabulous company and the food over all was pretty good. The turkey was really good! We used a cross between Mothra Stewart's butter and herb recipe and the high heat cooking method and actually bought a meat thermometer this year and YUM! The girls (and Jason and Leah!) all helped me and Jamie cook and that was pretty fun. I taught Sammy how to mix up, knead, roll and cut biscuts and they turned out so well! Jordan made my grandmother's cornbread recipe and it made me a little teary.

Sammy and Jordan. We used my Grandmother's china today, which isn't very fall-like, but it meant a lot to me.
The little girls made themselves comfortable to watch tv.
