Well, I finally did it. I finally completely missed posting the 2020 project blog. For 2 weeks! Today is December 6. Thanksgiving was 2 weeks ago today. It was on my to-do list everyday. For Two Weeks! And, of course, this week I needed to catch up with TWO blogs! Thanks giving weekend, and this past weekend. But, LIFE! It has been oh so busy! Holidays! End of semester! State Football Playoffs games! Basketball season! Wrestling Season! Sick kids! And on, and on, and on! But, here we are! A quick recap of the Thanksgiving holiday and the weekend that followed.
Things were pretty chill for Thanksgiving this year. We decided to have dinner in Perkins at Nana and Grandpas. We planned a meal with everyone's favorites. Mom cooked some, My dad carved the bird, Britt cooked some, and Lara, Jake and I made Pioneer Woman mashed potatoes! Emma was there, too, and it was a wonderful afternoon. I think the highlight of the day was the canned whipped cream. There was eating from the can, tossing of the cream, and general debauchery around the dinner table. We took pictures in the back yard, and watched TV. There was family here form all over, so later in the afternoon we headed to Stillwater to visit. Emma and Lara went back to Orlando to have Thanksgiving with their family there as well. A wonderful day!
Friday we spent the day catching up, and packing for our trip to Arkansas. My coworker and dear friend Chelsea was getting married to the man of her dreams, Jericho, and we were off to Mount Magazine to watch it all happen. Emma didn't make this trip, After stressing about the weather for months, it was the PERFECT fall day in Arkansas and a beautiful wedding for Mr. and Mrs. McElroy!
We stayed Saturday night in Fort Smith, then got up Sunday morning and went to the Bentonville / Rogers area. We attended Life Church there, had lunch at the Ozark Bagel Company, then headed back to Stillwater.
It was a wonderful holiday weekend, even if Monday did come to soon! And the coming week is going to be a full one - we play our STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL PLAYOFF game this coming Friday night in Owasso. Stay Tuned!
