PIZZA PARTY!! (yes, more eating)
In what now appears to be a tradition, MIL hosted the whole blended fam at her house Friday night for a pizza party. This night really makes Thanksgiving for me b/c it is more relaxed than Turkey Day itself, and everyone is together under one roof. My p's and sis come in from the west side, hubby's fam comes in from all around the east side. It's a nice opportunity for the extended family to catch up over cocktails and good eats.
And YES, I realize how lucky we are. In fact, we're MOST thankful at this time of the year that our families are in the same city, like each other and we like them :) It is truly brilliant. And that is why we celebrate like this!
Mom and sis came over early so we could do some shopping on Black Friday. Crazy but it really wasn't crowded. And being preggers cuts down on interesting items so I saved a lot of money.
Over dinner baby S performed with lots of kicks and bumps - most active for the nuns. I learned Mary Ellen is a dulla, very interesting. More to come on this and whether we'll actually have one in the room for delivery (or even use Mary Ellen herself). I'm definitely intrigued.
Sis has never experienced French Silk pie before tonight. Check out her response after trying a piece above (to be added when we aren't in the dead zone known as IN).
Another great night!
