Thanksgiving Weekend

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving was over a week ago!  I figured I'd better post before the month is over...

For Thanksgiving, Dave and I drove over to his sister's house to spend the day with his family. We arrived with food to add to the feast: my customary green bean casserole, a new recipe for pumpkin oatmeal muffins, and Dave's Crispix mix. I don't know who was more surprised that Dave made the Crispix mix completely on his own--me or the rest of his family!  The highlight of the evening was when my two nieces cuddled up to me so I could read their new bilingual book in both English and Spanish.

Ready to make lots of good food!

It actually looks just like the picture, but it will never replace pumpkin pie...

My family attended our second annual Day-After-Thanksgiving Gwinnett Gladiators game on Friday night.  It's always fun to watch grown men skate around after a little plastic puck and occasionally start fights with each other!  Saturday evening, Dave and I went with my sister to see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra play the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl score along with the movie.  We were in the front row of the highest balcony, and it was a pretty awesome experience.

Mementos of our awesome weekend out and about

Best way to watch a movie ever!

Update 12/4/2012: My phone gave me back the photos that had mysteriously disappeared, so I've added a few more pics.  It's rumored that Santa may bring me a new smartphone for Christmas... one that doesn't eat my pictures!
