Weekend in pictures

My headache isn’t very bad today, but I have mad homework to catch up on. I never did tell you much about my thanksgiving weekend, but instead of getting all wordy about it now, I’m presenting My Thanksgiving Weekend in Pictures.

Wednesday: I baked a cherry pie that sort of exploded in the oven. Apparently my venting was not sufficient. But it has a cute turkey on the top crust, so all is forgiven.

Thursday: I had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with my family. We ate good, sat around a lot, and went home satisfied. (Stevie’s a dog by the way. She didn’t really get a place at the table.)

Thursday night: My sisters and I went shopping. We had no interest in the madness of the next day, so we went to the 24-hour Meijer and picked up a few things before the rush. Deals schmeals. I prefer my sanity.

Friday: I worked all day, but in the evening we put up our tree! We bought some LED lights cuz with our artificial tree we’re all green and stuff now. Isn’t it weird how pure white light looks blue? At least that’s what B says. Or maybe the box was mislabeled. Sorry this picture’s so dark, but trust that the tree’s pretty.

Saturday: We had a 50th anniversary party for my grandparents. It was a Dutch theme because we’re some seriously Dutch people over here. I’m not sure how well you can see it all in this photograph, but this table alone has wooden shoes, tulips, a windmill (on the cake), the kissing cousins (napkins) and the Delft blue color (also napkins). We also had Dutch candy, cookies and pastries. And yes, we got it all for very cheap.

Sunday: I sat around with a headache all day. No pictures of that, sorry.

    I love all the pics! The tree is quite pretty, too!

  2. The 24-hour Meijer!!! I miss those places SO much! People in Chicago just understand the how cool they are (I grew up in MI & had one just a few blocks from my house).

    The tree looks great!

  3. I meant to say that people in Chicago DON’T understand. Whoops. :)

    Cool…a weekend in pics. I love pictures.

    You and your sister’s still fascinate me. Even your sister-in-law (is that your s-i-l on the right?) could be one of you. I mean, she looks like she could be related biologically.

    Love the tree, love the pie. Love the turkey…it makes me laugh.
