Thanksgiving with Friends

Tay and I decided to spend Thanksgiving in Colorado with some friends. We rented a little cabin in Evergreen. Carmen and Kelly came down from SLC and Nick and Carrie came from Denver.

It was fun to spend Thanksgiving with friends old and new. I've always seen friends as individuals in my life who I choose to have as family. What I love about my family of friends is you have to treat your friends with a certain level of respect and love to be invited into the family, it's a relationship based on trust, giving and positive regard.

Tay cooked most of the Thanksgiving dinner and he was defiantly the organizer of the event. Nick made 3 pies and Tay (with some help from me) made 1 pie. Later that night we played games, we love Uno Attack!

The dinner was great, but I can't say my nose liked the aftermath. Everything smelled like pie and gravy and it made me sick. Sadly, my sickness came back this weekend. We went to a restaurant in the morning and I had to leave because the smells were making me nauseous.

I was grateful my friends were just as lazy as I was and didn't want to go shopping, jogging, hiking or do anything that took effort. We enjoyed throwing rocks into the frozen river and lake and watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The only thing I couldn't do was sit in the hot tub with them, but I did dump a bucket of ice cold water on Taylors head in the hot tub (like a true Leasure).

Saturday, we came home from the cabin and we all took a nap to recover from our lazy Thanksgiving! HA! Later that night we saw the movie "slumdog millionaire" which was a great movie! I recommend it for anyone. Tay, Kelly and Carmen went to a show that night, while I went to bed.

Today I will be doing more homework and decorating for christmas! I can't wait for school to be over in 2 weeks!

Hey Kendoil! That looks like a fun Thanksgiving! I love it that you poured cold water on Taylor. I'm shocked you have a picture of Tay not making a face. :o I hope you feel better. I couldn't imagine being nauseated that much.
