Thanksgiving

This year our Thanksgiving was pretty relaxing. Mitch was a little more relaxed than most people but that was because he was on pain pills. He had his 5th knee surgery the day before Thanksgiving. It was an out patient procedure and went very smoothly. He is recovering very well and we are praying that this will bring him a little less discomfort.

On Thanksgiving day we went to my Aunt and Uncles house in Belton with the rest of my Dad's side of the family. We enjoyed lots of good food and visiting. We watched a couple of movies and had a great time. We even made it home right around Payton's bed time. The day after Thanksgiving we avoided all of the crazy early morning shoppers. We just stayed home and made breakfast. We went to Phil and Karen's house around noon to celebrate Thanksgiving with Mitch's family. His brother came home that morning from Springfield and we ate wonderful smoked meat that Phil made. We watched a couple movies and just relaxed some more. We had a great time, Payton was our main entrainment.

This year was much better than some because we didn't have to cram both of our family celebrations into one day. We got to enjoy time with them separately and on no time schedule. In the blink of an eye it will be time to celebrate Christmas.
