Thanksgiving Week

On Tuesday, the week of Thanksgiving we had a friend's-giving at the house and a bunch of people came over. Yummmy food and good company :) I didn't take pics of the food but it was all delicious - and so much food as well. It felt like an eating marathon, I actually got tired as I was eating because there was so much food and I didn't wanna stop because it was so good :)

After we were all done eating, everyone was tired and heading into food comatose.

It was a really great way to start off the holiday week :)

The morning of Thanksgiving, David and I woke up early so he could go visit his mom and other relatives for thanksgiving and then later would come back and be with us to watch the Redskins vs. Cowboys game :) I went over to Bob and Dad's house to start making my sweet potato casserole. But first we went over to Diana and Sunny's place to pick up some things. Diana made us coffee and we ate pumpkin bread while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade :)

Diana and Bob also worked on some pies :)

Such a lovely morning -- do you see the parade on tv?

Once the casserole was in the oven I went home to get ready for dinner. Then I headed over to Erik and Dorsa's house for the main event :) This pic was prior to the eating. Ella and Erik were chilling.

This was the huuuge turkey Erik brought home :) Yummmy, perfectly "M".

After we had eaten, we all watched the Redskins vs. Cowboys game and we won!! I was so nervous and angry when the Cowboys started catching up to us after we had lead them by 28 points. But we won in the end and it was great :)

Then it was off to do some Black Friday shopping. We went to HHGreg and got some awesome deals :) This Black Friday was not as crazy as last year's. It was more tame and under control this year.

We got good spots in line for stuff so we were in out of there pretty quickly. This is Dorsa getting ready to enter the store :) 

All in all it was a really good week. I didn't have work on Friday but David did. So for the rest of the week we have just been chilling and running errands. I hope everyone had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving like we did :)

4 - 0 for Redskins Games!!

So ..... just so you know ....... I am a leprechaun for the Redskins and David is my Pot-O-Gold!!! As long as the two of us are together the Redskins will never be undefeated at home :) Annnnd this Thanksgiving the Redskins will beat the Cowboys because I will it to be soooooo!!!

I didn't want to end this blog on a bad note but at the end of the game, despite our awesome victory over the Eagles I was feeling bad about how stupid I was Saturday morning and it got me in a bad mood so I was bitchy to David and then he was upset at me. But I was upset at myself and then I was upset at David because he was upset at himself about some other stuff that happened. So it was one big cluster of disappointment and anger. Fun times but now I just feel dumb that we wasted energy on that because it was nothing. So I am sorry Bubby and don't feel bad, you're the bestestest!!!

Now for all the pictures :)

Right when we arrived at FedEx Field - we see them doing an interview with Clinton Portis!!!! I was so close to my favorite Running Back! I took like 4 pictures but I liked this one the best (even though he looks sad, I think the person who was talking was being very serious)

Sat behind Super Skin for the 2nd time - he remembered us from last game so it was tons of fun :)

There is RG3 running with the American flag - epic!!

Yeah we're gonna win!!

Go Skins!!

Ohh good start!

Even better!!

We win again!! 4 - 0 for Bubby and me :) If you wanna see a Redskins win you have to go with us!! 

Dorsa's Baby Shower!!

Dorsa's Baby Shower was so much fun and I am really excited for the arrival of baby Liam!

But first on Saturday morning I woke up at 8:45 am to drive to the Jiffy Lube to get my oil changed. I have been going to the Jiffy Lube for service for a few years now. This time was the very last time I will ever go to Jiffy Lube - I am anti-Jiffy Lube for life! I'll tell you why. Because they charged me $350 for an oil change plus a bunch of other things, like a transmission flush, filter change, and something else that they felt I should get done. It all sounded fine to me.....because I'm stupid and didn't even pause to think how much that shit costs. Plus I had places to be and people to see and the oil change was just supposed to be a quick errand and then I would be off to help my mom and Sperbeny with the Shower. I learned my lessson - no more Jiffy Lube. I will be going to our friend Bill who I have been to in the past for vehicle service and he is a really cool guy. David tried to get me some justice by complaining to the manager about this ridiculous bill but it didn't change anything. Thanks for trying Bubby!! So pffhhhhh to you Jibby Fube!!!!!

Now on to the Shower .....

The night before the shower I went over to my Bob's house to see how things were going and to see my Aunt Sue!! They were busy making the elephant cookies to give as 'thank you' favors to the guests at the shower. Those cookies were super cute :)

Morning of the Shower was very busy - lots of decorations to put up and plate settings to be put out. But Diana did a great job and with everyone's help we were able to finish everything in time for the shower.

Bob putting up streamers along the ceiling - dangerous lady!

Aunt Sue with the scissors!

It was a beautiful day for a shower :)

Sperbeny doing some finishing touches :)

Mama has arrived for her Shower :)

These cupcakes turned out great! So delicious!

I won the "guess how big mama's belly is" game - wooot!!

So many gifts :)

Dorsa's reaction to my baby shower gifts - little gummy bears :)

So happy :)

This was so much fun and it was great being apart of this! Cannot wait to meet little Liam :)

Cleaning up was fun too, man was there a lot to clean up, whew!

This was the only picture I took of the clean up because it was so funny. Bob using a reach-claw to get all the paper towels off the ceiling - so funny/annoying. Good job Bob!
