The rest of my Thanksgiving weekend was filled with more food and more family. On Friday Chris and I drove to my parents house and we all went to see Disney’s A Christmas Carol in 3D. This movie was fantastic, and I highly recommend it. After the movie we headed back to the house for a glass of wine, and to meet up with my dad’s side of the family. I was finally able to wear my white pea coat! After inspired by all the white coats in the Macy’s Day Parade I had to finally wear mine.
My entire dads side of the family, plus some, met up at the house, and we headed over to P.F. Changs for a fun 20 person family meal. We of course started with drinks and appetizers. I decided to go with a dirty martini…I mean it is the holidays!
The waiter also let me have a taste of red wine since I couldn’t decide between wine and a martini. How nice is that!
Chris and I split an order of egg rolls to start. I also tried a crab wonton, which was so good!
For dinner I ordered the orange chicken with brown rice, Chris ordered beef and broccoli and we shared everything. We also shared some sides with other family members including spicy green beans, asparagus, and chicken fried rice. My plate had a little bit of everything on it. I always have to try everything.
A delicious dinner followed by a delicious dessert. We all headed back to the house for dessert and tons of pictures. I didn’t really have any dessert, but I did have a bite of a brownie and some coffee with Bailey’s. A very fun night with my family!
Saturday I just spent the day with my mom and dad running errands and doing family stuff. I was able to enjoy my moms Thanksgiving leftovers, which was awesome! I ate a Turkey Sandwich with sauerkraut and cranberry sauce. It was so delicious! No picture because Chris had my camera all day, and he was working. I didn’t get a workout in this day because I was so tired from the night before, and my ankle was bothering me so much. I just decided to take another day off.
On Saturday night we went to Chris’ families house for Thanksgiving dinner number 3. I didn’t have my camera so I took pictures with Chris’ moms camera, and I’m just waiting for her to send them to me. Trust me-the meal was blog worthy! What an amazing weekend with my family. So much to be thankful for, and so many fun times to remember. Now it is time to get ready for Christmas! Chris and I decorated the apartment tonight, and put up the Christmas tree! This is my FAVORITE time of year! Hope you had a beautiful Sunday! I will leave you with a few pics of the apt all decorated. It’s simple, but its mainly hand me downs from my mom.
Ankle Update-It still hurts pretty bad to bend my ankle so I don’t think running is in store for me tomorrow. I need to rest it as much as possible so it gets better. I am getting worried about it since it doesn’t seem to be getting better. I will have to focus on arm and core strength for the next few days. This is the first time I have actually been frustrated that I couldn’t run. Today was an extremely warm day for November, and it was just gorgeous outside. The fact that I couldn’t run made me so upset. I just hope it gets better soon.
GOOD NIGHT!
