Ok, so Thanksgiving this year wasn't so bad. I actually had a good time. I had a very relaxing morning, which included wandering over to the local university campus to watch Donald and the guys standing around drinking beer and attempting to play football, a trip to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and a few quiet hours of reading and resting. Dinner at Donald's sister's house was actually pretty good. I tried the deep fried turkey, and while it was easier to choke down, I still didn't care for it. There were mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, however, so I filled up on those, along with these amazing bread rolls that I couldn't stop eating (She sent like 10 home with us, so I'm quite the happy and fat camper).
After dinner we sat around and chatted, and I played with Donald's almost 2 year old nephew, who is the biggest little boy I've ever met (he outweighs his 3 year old sister). He's also very smart and has the most contagious laugh you've ever heard. He's a tank, and I adore him.
All in all it was a good day, especially considering that I can't stand Thanksgiving to start with. I am, however, thankful for my friends and family. I don't know what I'd do without them!
