Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving this year was a bit secondary to the impending arrival of John and Liz's twins. Mary Ellen has been staying overnight at there house for a week now in case they have to rush to the hospital in the middle of the night. I went over there Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner, which Liz cooked despite her advanced pregnancy. Mary Ellen did sweet potatoes and we brought enough wine to adequately lubricate the meal.

Before dinner John took the kids to the playground at the neighboring school.




On Friday, I drove to Austin to visit the Pasquarette family. I got there in time to help put up the Christmas tree (or at least watch). Ellie and Will were very thorough in getting this job done.

On Saturday morning, Will, Ellie and I went for a long walk from their neighborhood park down a path that was paved for a hald mile and then went down a steep rocky slope to a dirt path. In the afternoon we saw a Disney movie, Bolt, about a show business dog, and then went to dinner at Serrano's.


Sunday, I drove back to Grand Prairie so I could take Mimi to the Fort Worth Symphony Christmas Concert, and later took her back to John's house for the night.
