It's difficult to get into the holiday spirit living just 400 miles from the equator. We don't have real seasons so we have to trust the calendar to tell us what to celebrate. Good friends who will make the effort to keep the holidays alive are the best! Troy and Andrea hosted Thanksgiving at their home and it was a really lovely day. We celebrated on Saturday because naturally Thursday isn't a holiday here.
The kids table was really good and then they went upstairs and played Jackbox games for hours!
We had a fried turkey, courtesy of Zach (whose wife Norma sadly couldn't attend) and a smoked turkey, ALL of the traditional sides and a few extras. It was a fantastic meal and I was shocked when it was 10pm and I realized we'd been there all day.
A week later, several of the ladies met to start celebrating Christmas with a delicious cookie exchange. Cookies for days!
And we had a very fun Christmas pokeeno with special rules, including a Jason Momoa prize.
A very fun night, but sadly our last at Andrea's because their family is moving over Christmas break. Lots of happy memories in this house!
