Turkey Day!!

It was nice and quiet, We had Duane, Trevor's dad here for a few hours. After he got here the kids just kept doing what they were doing and he just kind of sat there. I cornered Adrienne and told her to get out scrabble, and well Duane is very serious about his scrabble, he has an official scrabble dictionary (we had it here at our house). Ya he kicked some scrabble tail! Anyway the kids had fun. During that I put together a step by step book for Duane to check his email, and Trevor set up a face book. We will take baby steps here and start with email, then maybe around Christmas or New Years we will introduce face book depending on how email goes. Yesterday Oliver and I made pies me pecan, and Oliver pumpkin. We also decided to prepare a turkey with a brine so we started yesterday and let it soak over night. This morning Trevor cooked pumpkin rolls. As soon as the bird went into the oven I went to work on the rolls, just not hard enough. As the bird got done (so we thought) Adrienne peeled the potatoes, Trevor did the green beans, and Oliver did the cinnamon butter. Oliver got impatient with me and the rolls and took over and finished. It was all after scrabble while watching Pirates of the Caribbean (paused for dinner). Dinner was nice, however Oliver was wolfing dinner down, at that point he said I need to hurry I am going to go on a double date with a friend....WHAT! OH well it was nice while it lasted. They are now here playing Halo Reach. I have everything cleaned up and the Turkey is now cooked and put away, the pie is still out on the table so I guess I better go put that away...It was nice the Weaver's were missed, has they have been since they left, however it was still very nice. :)
