Thanksgiving

Ah, Thanksgiving! Despite the weirdness at my place, we had a good Thanksgiving. We had my brother up and my aunt over, and actually ate dinner over at our neighbor's. We made enough for everyone, and so did they, so there are plenty o' leftovers. Yay!

I learned that my cousin, who I like though we're not very close, is a real jerk. He lives up in SLC and had his family to his place for dinner. His dad, his sisters, and his in-laws. Everyone except his own mother that lives in PG. Through his sister texting her, he let his mom know that there was not enough room for her to come. That to me is unacceptable. She was nervous about having dinner with his inlaws, but to have the invitation rescinded at the last minute was terrible. My aunt is not a perfect person, she's made mistakes, but nothing so heinous to deserve that kind of treatment. We love having her over, so she had somewhere to be, but I can't believe there was not room enough for her.

On a happier note, this year marked the tenth anniversary of having Thanksgiving at The Masked Mallard's for the first time along with our friend John. That invitation was great because I was missing just my second Thanksgiving at home ever. We had such a good time, that even though my family is out here now, we've usually done something at their place during Thanksgiving weekend ever since. A lot of really good memories have come from that invitation. Thanks so much!
