Thanksgiving!

Hey all,

Thanksgiving was pretty good. We went to visit my Grandma and have Thanksgiving lunch with her. She didn't want the whole traditional meal lol. She wanted Bean Burgers haha. Odd, but they are pretty good. We stayed for a couple hrs. We had a good visit (:.

Than we went home and got stuff ready for our family's Thanksgiving dinner. And it was also my Brother's 23rd Birthday. He went down to his friends house that evening. So, it was just my Mom and I that evening. It was a good dinner :P. Very yummy!!

I started having a bad day towards the end though. Because I was missing my Dad too much. It was just not the same doing all these things without him here with us. He was the one who'd always cut the turkey and say the family prayer. And it will just never be the same, ever! I miss him soo terribly!

Sorry, don't have that much to say. Umm... today I got our Christmas Decorations outta the basement today to put up tomorrow. I'm excited about that than I can take my mind off things and just kinda put it all to the back of my mind. And plus I enjoy decorating the house up for holidays. It's fun for me. And I think my Dad would want me to enjoy it. I'm just glad that the lights my Dad and I put on the house last year still works. (We left them on the house all yr). So it's like my Dad is still here helping me, ya know?

But I'm gonna go now. I hope everyone is all good. And I will catch you all later.
Merry (early) Christmas!
