It’s turkey day, whoo hoo! But we’re having surf and turf, ugh. But wait, we’re also cooking a turkey here at home for us to have left overs, whoo hoo! We’re off to Breckenridge about 1 this afternoon to spend the holiday with Brooke and Ashley and their families. They both worked for Lori at Denver Plastic Surgery and all three girls are still close. Brook’s parents have a big home in Breck but they went to their house in Florida so we’re all going there.
Both boys are still sleeping and it’s a little after 7. Tomorrow we’re headed down to Denver after Jag’s basketball practice which is from 8 to 10. We should arrive right in the middle of the Black Friday festivities. Ty is going to get dropped off at Ben’s and spend the night and then I’ll go back down on Saturday and pick him up. I promised him he could spend the night with Ben over the break so it is what it is.
Robi texted yesterday but I actually forgot what she’s doing today (I’ll have to look at my phone) and Tom and Ali I think are just staying home with their kids, Bode and Maybell. We’re smack dab in the middle of buying presents for everyone, which is actually a lot of fun! Tasha said Anika wants a doctor coat as she is a doctor these days but says she can’t really be one without the coat. Lori is on this one. We’re also shopping for some other little kids. I’m going to let Lori handle the “little girl” presents as I’m sure that’ll be fun for her. As I said earlier, it’s a lot more fun buying things for people than getting things. I guess you’re actually old when you can say that, ha!
Lori’s working on our turkey now. She doesn’t even like turkey but does it for me. She also cooks a mean bird with the skin all golden brown by using cheesecloth and lots of butter. It looks like the one on the movie The Christmas Story. Can’t wait until tonight, I’ll have to eat light today in Breck!
Mojo is staying with his friends at doggie daycare today so he’s not left all alone all day long in the house. He actually likes going there as it’s sort of a free for all on neutral ground where they all get to play. The guys there are really good with Mojo and all the dogs. We finally have blue sky today which is nice. It’s a little cool but not bad at all, unless you’re from California! Grandma Dixie is going with Debbie (Lori’s cousin) to somebody’s house. We’re glad she has so much support there.
Guess I’ll go so we can get to the gym. Have a great holiday and take a moment to think to yourself of all the things you have to be thankful for. I know each of us has lots of things as we’re all blessed in our own way. Take care, be safe and God Bless.
