So Thanksgiving came and went and I was able to enjoy the company of one of my best friends Luz! She flew in on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and she stayed until the Sunday after! It was so much fun sharing our family traditions with her! Wednesday when she flew in I introduced her to Noodles and Company and Cocoa Dolce. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed both. :) Luz even bought some chocolates to bring back to her parents.
Then Luz and I spent the day making pumpkin pies which she and I had never done before. We both tried Pumpkin pie for the first time that Thanksgiving and I think we both found a new holiday treat we like.
Wednesday night dad took us to a Wichita Thunder Hockey game. Probably the best I had seen all season! They were playing the Missouri Mavericks (their rivals) and there were a total of three fights! It was awesome! We even got to play hockey bingo which was great. Luz and I both learned more about hockey that day then we ever had before. It definitely got us really into the game.
Thursday was Thanksgiving of course! Grandma Jan decorated the table and mom made a pretty center piece for us to enjoy. Dinner was amazing as always. Thanks Mommy! I hope Luz enjoyed it. The food was a little more traditional than she was used to.

I guess we need to teach Grandma Jan how to use her camera. That picture of Luz and I is a little blurry. LOL! Anyway...Later that night Catherine and Frankie went to Catherine's parents house to spend Thanksgiving with her family as well. They said they had a good time. I was jealous. Two Thanksgiving dinners...guess I need to find a man. That way I can have two dinners as well. Daddy ended the evening playing some songs for us on his guitar.
Friday Luz and I spent some quality time together just the two of us. We woke up and got ready and went to the movies to see Hugo. If you wondering by the way...it was awesome! The most beautiful movie I've ever seen. And we saw it in 3D. I actually think it was pretty than the 3D Avatar. We then went and got our toes done together! Mommy let us have her appointment. Thanks again Mommy! After our toe appointment we went to the movies again! It was cold out and we only had boots on so we went to the movies in our little disposable flip flops that the salon gave us and watched Breaking Dawn while our toes dried. :) Breaking Dawn actually wasn't too bad as far as the Twilight movies go. It wasn't the best movie I've seen but I enjoyed it. Let's face it I love vampires and who doesn't like seeing a half naked Taylor Lautner on a big screen. It was a great day.
Saturday was busy but fun. My mom invited Catherine's family over for a brunch and we enjoyed getting to know her parents and brothers and sisters. The food was great and we all played games and socialized the rest of the afternoon. I hope her family enjoyed it. They seemed as though they did. We had a really good time getting to know them.
Later that evening Luz and I met up with another one of my best friends Kim. I talk about both Luz and Kim to each other all the time so naturally I wanted them to meet each other. We had a couple of delicious drinks and appetizers at Cheddar's. So delicious! I hope Kim and Luz got along. They seemed as though they did. I enjoyed it.
Luz and I then came home early and tried to watch a movie we had started a few nights ago. The 10th Kingdom! If you know Frankie and I at all you know it is one of our favorites however it is about 6 1/2 hours long.
Sunday of course it was time for Luz to go home. Unfortunately her flight was changed so she had to leave earlier in the day. :( But we woke up and packed her up and managed to finish the 10th Kingdom which was a stroke of luck. Luz really liked this scarf she borrowed from me while she was here so I let her take it with her. I mean hey...I am only going to be about 3 hours away once I move so I can get it back anytime. Can't wait to be living close to her once again! I parked at the airport and we enjoyed a snack together while we said goodbye. It was a little sad but the truth is I am going to be seeing her again in about a month when I drive down to Florida and then we can get together whenever we both have a day off from work because we will be so close. We no longer need a plane to see each other!

Aw, it sounds like you had an amazing thanksgiving! That's so funny about your dad, my dad plays guitar too! It looks from the pictures like he even has the same one. And I saw Breaking Dawn as well...definitely not at terrible as I was expecting, I'm ashamed to say...I actually liked it :) By the way, that chocolate looks amazing!
Only less than a month left till Disney!
I know! 30 days! We are going to have so much fun! I am getting more pumped every single day!
