Entry 143: Thanksgiving

First of all we would both like to wish everyone a happy belated Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving day started very early with the whole family (including the dog) piling into the car at 7:00 in the morning to make the trek to Iowa. By the time we got to Lance's parents house at 11:30, we had to get back into the car to go make another hour and a half car ride to meet up with Lance's brother and sister and their wife and boyfriend. We all had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant (it was something new this year since we usually make dinner at the house)and it was a very nice time and meal with Lance particularly enjoying the turkey.
Afterwards we all split up and we went back to Lance's parents house were we played an exciting game of Mexican Train dominoes. Someone unfortunately forgot to explain the rules to Lance because he thought whoever had the most points won. Julie did much better though and won the game.
All in all it was a great day had by all and it was great to see family.
