Thanksgiving 08


This year was an awesome Thanksgiving! After work on Wed, Rich and I headed out to brave the LA traffic to get to my sisters house before Thursday.. It usually takes about 7 hours to get there, but this time it took 10 hours! It was craziness! Once we got there, everything was perfect! We started out Thursday by having a tea party with my sister, nephew, brother in law, and a couple of my sisters close friends.. It was fun!


We then just hung out until it was time to heat the food (we ordered all the fixins from an upscale organic market). Everything was delicious! And is was so gourmet and easy! Thanks April and Travis! After dinner, April, Rich and I all went out for a night on the town in Sacramento. We went to a venue called The Park, it was fun! We danced, and talked, and laughed and had a great time! I forgot my camera, so there are no pictures of that event!


Aizik, Rich and I took a drive up to Apple Hill on Saturday Afternoon. It was great to get to spend some time with my nephew Aizik, he'll be 10 in January, and he's the sweetest thing! We stopped at Rainbow Orchards and had Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts, then we went on the the Jack Russell Brewery, they make my favorite beer, so I had to stop and sample some! Aizik and I also stocked up on honey sticks!







I'm so grateful that my sisters and I are so close, we're not really close in distances, but close in the heart! I love them so much, and I wish that I could see them regularly! If you have close family near by, dont take them for granted.. I hope everyone had a great holiday, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.. even though.. this year, Christmas is going to be a little bit different for me than in years past.
