My Thanksgiving

Thursday was Thanksgiving, DUH! But to me it just felt like a normal regular old day. For me Thanksgiving is the start of the holidays. It starts everything. Without the whole giant family meal, I am still sitting here in Chile without the tiniest feeling that Christmas is coming. On Thanksgiving Day Rodrigo and I didn't really do that much, but that night he took me to Applebees because I was really craving some buffalo wings! We decided to eat and not worry about the bill. It was nice, we shared an order of buffalo wings (which later Rodrigo was describing it to his mom, I had to cut in laughing and tell him that it really isn't buffalo, its chicken hahaaha) and I enjoyed a Long Island Iced Tea, mmmmm!! Ro had a bacon cheeseburger and fries and I had the crispy orange chicken, I'm pretty sure in the US its called the orange chicken bowl, but I'm not sure on that. It was really nice. We had a really nice time. It has been a long time since we have gone out and had a nice peaceful time just the two of us! In all we spent 25,000 pesos, about $50. I don't care. But that wasn't enough to get me in the Christmas spirit. I finished a Santa outfit for Zoe today, I surprise myself it turned out great for being a beginner at crocheting and for not following a pattern at all!! She hates the hat and the sweater is a bit warm for Chile Xmas weather, but it will be useful for next Christmas and she really only needs to wear it for a few minutes while we get out first family Christmas cards made!! I am excited!! I will post some pics later of just Zoe in her outfit, she pretty much hates the Santa hat and I took about 15 pics and only one is actually kind of good!
Tomorrow we are having a mini Thanksgiving dinner here at our house. I am kind of excited! Actually I get to cook so I'm a lot excited!! We are going to have chicken instead of turkey because theres not enough of us to eat an entire turkey! I am also going to make an apple pie and maybe buy a thing of vanilla ice cream to go with that. I'm going to make scalloped corn too. It's going to be a small meal, but I think it will be a lot of fun. Jessica and D are coming and Pancho and Romy are also coming! I am excited that it worked out in the end! I should really hit the hay because I have lots of fun stuff to do tomorrow! Grocery shopping, cooking!! and everything else!!!
