We had a good Thanksgiving with my family. Poor Kevin hasn't been feeling well most of the weekend so it was more low-key than most years.
Kevin didn't start feeling bad until Thanksgiving day, so we were able to enjoy a great night out on Wednesday night. I'd seen a sign that a Beatles tribute band would be playing at a bar near our house, and knew it'd be a great date night. Kevin is a HUGE Beatles fan and the show was great to see. We had no idea that it would be as popular as it was, we were lucky to get a table in the back. The band was playing on the outdoor patio and we also lucked out that I had a couple of jackets in my car. It had been warm that day, but cooled off once the sun went down. We had a great time watching the band (and occasionally singing along) - they were in costume and had different outfits for each of the 3 sets -- to go along with the different time periods of the Beatles. Houston area people - they are called the Fab 5.
We decided to have our Thanksgiving meal on Friday since we both had work on Wednesday and so that we could fully enjoy the Texans game on tv that day (overtime?!? again), it also gave us some extra time to get everything ready. It worked out really well! My parents came up on Thursday and watched the end of the game with us (we had a casserole -something easy since the main event was the next day) and we did a lot of the food prep on Thursday (including smoking the turkey), then while everyone else was shopping til they dropped on Friday we had our big meal. It was 6 of us this year, my sister and her boyfriend drove over late Thursday after spending time with his family. We missed having my brother and his wife with us, but completely understand why they couldn't make the trek - their work schedules just wouldn't allow it, and his school schedule is keeping him running as well. We have fingers crossed that Christmas plans work out for us to all celebrate together.
We had a pretty lazy weekend, and ate more than our fair share of desserts....
