Every Thanksgiving I eat WAY too much food. Now, this isn't a problem while it's happening. I never regret a single bite of that YUMMY dinner...and dessert...and appetizers....OK, and more food after that. Today, however, I totally regret my choices.
I don't feel awful. My body isn't changed. I just have this CRAZY case of Turkey hangover...or maybe it was the wine.
Ah, well.
This "black Friday" has been terrific. We enjoyed a parade with our family this morning. A few things excited Alex and made him smile. He really liked the BIG trucks and the hellicopter that flew over head. (It flew very low and very fast). The hubster and I collected a good amount of candy there too. Yay!
After the parade and a visit with my parents, we came home and I got to work on getting our Christmas decorations up. There's just something so fun about putting up the tree. Every year, I watch A Christmas Story while I put up the tree and decorate it. I look at all of the ornaments and remember the story behind each one.
This year, we were given something VERY special to add to our decorations. My dad gave us the train he used to put under the family Christmas tree every year way back when. Alex is SO excited for our "choo choo" and can't wait to see it running. To have this in my home is a pretty big deal and it almost makes me want to cry. There are so many good memories hiding in that train set. Now, Alex will have his own memories to add to it. Thanks, Dad!
(Once I have the train put together, I'll take a picture so I can show you what it looks like.) :)
I hope your Thanksgiving was terrific! Tell me how you spent your "Black Friday". :)
