Our First Thanksgiving....

We had a really nice Thanksgiving!  Both of us had the weekend off, which is rare, and we loved it!  To start off the weekend, Chris cooked a prime rib roast for the first time and it was really good!  On Thursday, we took Chris' mom to lunch at Golden Corral.  It was great to be able to spend some extra time with her and be able to take her out for a special meal.  Then we made our way to our friend, Karin Flanagan's for dinner.  My dad's secretary, Joanie, was in town and we were able to visit with her!  She met Chris for the first time because she got sick on the day of our wedding and wasn't able to make it.

On Friday, we did....NOTHING.  I worked on Christmas presents for my family.  We cooked and cleaned, watched football, and literally did NOTHING.   On Saturday, we made our way to George Washington's Mt. Vernon Estate for Christmas at Mt. Vernon.  We met up with Karin, Joanie and Katie (Karin's daughter).  Joanie, Katie and Chris had never been!  Chris and I purchased annual passes so we can return to Mt. Vernon whenever we want and enjoy the different festivities there.  We came home, and again, just relaxed.    Here is the link to our pictures at Mount Vernon!

Today was a little rough....both of us woke up feeling sick and didn't go anywhere....we must've ate too much this weekend because our stomachs were not happy with us.  :(  Overall, the weekend was a good one and we are looking forward to many, many more!
