Happy Thanksgiving from the Scarbroughs!
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and I have to say that maybe the best part of it this year is having a four-day weekend that I got paid for. Having paid holidays is really strange the first go around! Here are some pics to recap the weekend:
The dessert spread: pear pie, mincemeat pie, pecan pie, pumpkin torte, pumpkin pie, White Russian cheesecake, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, and lemon-poppy seed cake. Yummy!
Aunt Pat was very hungry!
What does everyone do after eating? Watch football, of course!
Rachel eating one of Uncle Howard's moonshine-soaked maraschino cherries.
Roberts girls do not do "pretty" at 5:00 am.
Fortunately God does do "pretty" at 5:00 am: beautiful sunrise.
The goods: new Asics for half-price.
After shopping it was...five games of Catan. Congratulations to Shannon and Lucas, who each won two games, while I only won one and Rachel pulled up the rear. We girls were only operating on four hours of sleep though...
So my sister and I got up at 5:00 am on Friday to brave the crowds and scope out some good deals. We managed to get new Asics (totally worth 5:00 am to save $135 on two pairs of shoes, in my opinion) for half-price. Other than that we got some Christmas shopping and I got Shannon and myself another down comforter for only $35. I thought that was a steal, especially if we end up living someplace where electricity is unreliable.
After shopping we came home and played Catan a lot, ate some leftovers, and just hung out. It was a very relaxing few days, and I'm sad to say that I have to return to work tomorrow. But Christmas is less than a month away!
i LOVE catan. bring it with you if you ever come to Idaho and we'll play with you. or if we come that way. :)
ReplyDeleteThose desserts looked amazing. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the game Catan. I am sometimes out of the loop as to what is out there. This is one of those times. I am glad you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
