Writing this a bit late however my mentality lately is better late than never. Thanksgiving week actually started out with quite a bit of snow. For those of you who know Seattle you know what a few inches can do. For those in the Midwest ... it is just embarrassing how much snow it takes to shut down the city (i.e. trace amounts). I ended up having a 3 hour commute each way Monday and decided to work from home on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had about 4-6 inches in total. It sure was beautiful though!
We spent this Thanksgiving with Grandma & Grandpa Muldary and boy did we have a blast. We got down a bit later than anticipated but had a wonderful dinner with all the fixings. A delicious turkey, stuffing (my absolute favorite), mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole (does anyone really like this or is it just a Midwest tradition?), rolls and last but definitely not least pumpkin pie! We were stuffed but boy was it good.
Lizzy did awesome and even ate her first vegetable with us, sweet potatoes! She started eating fruit a few days before but we thought it only appropriate to begin eating veggies on Thanksgiving. The evening was spent watching a movie and football. After all what would Thanksgiving be without football!
Friday my mom, sister and I did our normal routine of waking up early and SHOPPING! We were out the door by 4:45am (we're crazy just not 'at the mall at 4am' crazy). We headed up to South Hill Mall and we were in Target and in line by 5:27am. Every year we are amazed by how efficient the Target in Puyallup is. We may wait in line for almost two hours but we have a strategy. One person, maybe two, with the cart in line while the other one or two shop! Then we rotate through. By the time we were each done shopping we only waited an additional 20 minutes. It may sound like a long line but it moved fast and we got all the deals we wanted. My best deal of the day ... 2TB external hard drive for ... $69! Woohoo! I picked up two! Since getting my SLR the pictures are filling up our external faster and faster. Now I have one just for photos!
Saturday night Ben and I had tickets to go to Bob Saget. Hurray for date night. Ben and I along with my sister and Cliff headed to Snoqualamie Casino for the show. What a beautiful casino and it is actually a decent venue for a show/concert. He was hilarious. Although fair warning ... I would highly recommend his show but not for conservative or faint of heart. He is crass and vulgar, but hilarious! The food was great too! We did the buffet, after all what would a casino visit be without a trip to the buffet. It just happened to be surf and turf night so we had one lobster tail and all we could eat crab legs along with prime rib and all sorts of other yummy goodness. Ben's favorite though had to be the chocolate fountain with the strawberry marshmallows!
We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. Most importantly our healthy baby girl. Much love to all of you this holiday season!
