Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a whirlwind! Our friends and family thought Enid, OK was that amazing that they decided to stay in town/travel to our house for Thanksgiving. The holiday was quiet and uneventful.

First, my mother-in-law, Deb, and her boyfriend, Paul, kicked off the holiday by getting stuck with weather delays and thus getting in town a day late. Then, my parents, Mike and Diana, were supposed to leave at o'dark hundred Wednesday morning. But their heater decided to break. They drove like the wind blew to get into town around Midnight. Lastly, (these are just arrivals mind you) we arranged to have a friend's car available for my sister-in-law, Pat, to drive from the airport in OKC to Enid (a trip that normally takes 1 hr and 15 min.). She made it 3/4 the way until she got pulled over going around 106 mi/hr. (one thing you don't do in OK is speed through small towns...we also found out the hard way). From there she somehow managed to finish the drive by turning around and driving back into OKC. Around 2:30 am, she arrived and all was well.

Thanksgiving day, everybody was happy, but definitely a little tired. (Mind you Rich and I had completely moved two days prior). Everybody brought their assigned dishes, Rich made a wonderful Turkey and I made baked yams but somehow managed to turn off the over mid-bake. So the meal took a little longer, so i forgot the cranberry sauce on the counter, the food and company was great!

We concluded the holiday with a round of Cranium as well and a special group post-turkey exercise activity a.k.a. catch Vance (our 1 yr. old lab) as he ran around base like an idiot or maybe he ran around base while he made idots out of us.........

Nothing concludes a holiday though without somebody attempting to ride the scooters (in this case it was my mother-in-law, Deb) and ending in a trip the E.R.

Nothing like the holidays with the Harrs.......
