Thanksgiving

This year, since we weren't able to go visit my family for Thanksgiving, my parents drove over to visit us instead. It was so nice having them here with us for a week. We really do enjoy having visitors come & stay with us :) It gives us an excuse to make the apartment look all nice & pretty & it's always fun coming up with new things to cook and desserts to bake.

Unfortunately Sayre was on duty on Thanksgiving day, so we had our nice big turkey dinner on Friday instead. On Thursday, since Sayre had to be there anyway, I took my parents on base so that he could give them a tour of the ship. The ship is always seemingly impressive to outsiders, but trust me, I don't think anyone that's had to stay on that thing for more than a day finds it to be like a floating mansion by any means haha.

On Friday we drove around a bit - I tried to give my parents a tour of my office but failed to obtain a working key to the exterior door.. oops! Eventually we ended up back home and enjoyed our delicious Thanksgiving dinner :) thanks to mom & dad who brought pretty much everything... I only made pumpkin pie & sweet potato casserole - they brought everything else. Oh & since we won't be heading to Louisiana for Christmas this year, we also managed to squeeze in a little Christmas celebration as well and swapped presents. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable, but much-too-short visit.
