Turkey Time!

Thanksgiving week was kicked off with a church potluck with all the fixings.  Then Tuesday evening we hosted Eric's sister and her roommate.  We decided to deviate from the traditional pumpkin pie and serve up an apple crisp.  Normally Eric and I are not real big on kitchen gadgets, but I recently bought an apple peeler/slicer/corer from the Pampered Chef.  It got its first use to make our dessert, in fact Eric barely let me use it because it's just that cool!  Thursday we headed to Fresno for dinner with the Welter family on my mom's side.  Friday was a nice lazy day at home....no crazy shopping for us!  Saturday evening we had a nice dinner with the Pisor side of the fam...a fabulous stuffed pork loin was served by my parents.  We were entertained by a grandpa in high spirits and some interesting family stories.  Finally on Sunday Eric and I got a little break from the kids and saw the newest Harry Potter flick, had lunch out, and did a little Christmas shopping.  So much to be thankful for!
