Thanksgiving weekend

We started the morning off by talking to mom and dad Redmond and my sister Erin. We couldn't figure out how to employ three-way calling, so we did the next best thing and called everyone to talk to one another on speaker phone. Aaron of course thought it was ridiculous. We had a nice rest of the Thanksgiving day this year...spending it with our friends the Weidners. Scott made the turkey and most of the sides, while we brought the green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. We had a lot of food for 4 people and two kids!
The guys enjoyed checking out the ads for black Friday. There was talk of Aaron going to get a new TV, but (as I expected) he didn't make it up in time for the sales.

Yesterday we spend the whole day in our pajamas...although we were fairly productive. We cleaned and put up the xmas decorations (inside and out) and watched a couple of episodes of the Sopranos. It somewhat worries me that I think Beck may be more likely to recognize Tony Sopranos voice then either of ours. Aaron even downloaded a Christmas cd for me to listen to while cleaning to put us in the mood. It was a very nice day.

In other good news, I passed all my glucose tests this weekend (despite the temptations with yummy food). In fact, since started to test on Tuesday, I have only gone over on one reading. I think that is pretty good...I must admit there is also a part of me that hopes that perhaps the Doctors will see what I have been able to do with diet and put an end to all the testing in time for Christmas travel.
Not sure what the rest of the weekend has in store...maybe a movie or some shopping. We truly are blessed and thankful for everything we have. We can't wait to see our family and friends soon!
