Spent with the Hawerchuk/Armstrong/Lindfield's
This year
Vanessa (SIL)and myself did it right this year. We planned and shopped early that way nothing was forgotten or like in past dinners we were not able to find something last minute. So we planned a menu together and shopped together, split the cost. So things were good we just needed to get veggies on that Friday ... fresh is better!
And then the morning happened,
Its never a family get together with out something minor happening lol ... no jokes!
So I woke to a weird constant alarm around four in the morning. Thinking nothing of it went back to sleep. Later in the morning when I woke it was loader and more annoying. The BIL wasn't sure what it was so I went looking to find out that it was the CO2 meter going off, but being as it was an old one the BIL and myself begged it to being that it was old and they needed a new one. Vanessa being Vanessa got all worried and then started getting myself and the BIL all worried. Needles to say we ended up outside awaiting on a different CO2 meter from our aunts house to inform us what i suspected all along was a old bugged out meter. I mean yes its always better to be safe then sorry and being a mom I totally get it. If I hadn't been up early in the morning hearing it and by the time we went out side it was 11am. I would have been more worried but we had already been in the house for hours with no signs of being ill.
But the kids and I had a bit of fun outside while waiting!
Just playing some b-ball and having some fun!
On top of this the wheegirl (the pox) and SIL (head cold) were sick. So I ended up forcing the SIL to sit, relax and deel with wheegirl while I prepared cooked and cleaned up dinner. BIL helped as much as he could since he was also helping SIL with wheegirl. But I loved it. Love to cook so it was a plus for me and I was feeling anxious about over the festivities for that morning so it was good to keep busy. After the bird was stuffed and veggies where on the stove ready to start cooking I decided that lilbug needed a nap. Got her napping and went for a coffee break outside, came in to this!
How cute are they!
Later on that day we gathed as a family minus a few people, but it was a fabouls dinner spent with family, laughs and most importantly togetherness of a family that loves each other. Yes where crazy and loud and drive each other up the way but we love each other and thats what matters
Did I mention that the turkey turned out amazing!!
Mmmm yummy Bird!
