Laura and Tim's excellent Thanksgiving Adventure # 2 & 3

Well it's been almost two weeks since I've added a post, and it seems kind've silly that I'm still talking about Thanksgiving, but I promised I'd post stories about our adventures, so I might as well get it over with. :P It has been a particularly busy couple of weeks for me, with the school term wrapping up. I now start placement on Monday! So nice to finally have a change of pace. :) And now on to the adventures...

Once Tim and I arrived home from the Stover's wedding, we discovered that my parents and siblings were coming over to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. They were bringing all the food, but I was all in a panic because our apartment was a disaster. And Tim had to go take pictures for someone for an hour, so I was in charge of getting the place in order. It was a frantic cleaning job, but it all got done, and when my parents and Alissa and Timmy arrived (Tara and Richard went to see Richard's parents for Thanksgiving), everything was in working order. I'd even had some time to go out and pick leaves off the ground for decoration. Mom and I ended up making a pretty centerpiece for the table from the leaves and some acorns we found on a walk we went on before dinner.

Like I said, we went for a walk to check out Tiffany Falls and then we enjoyed a stroll along the Rail trail while the Turkey was cooking. Now considering we had been up since 6 am that morning and had driven all the way home from Bloomsburg Pennsylvania, I have to say I was impressed at how much energy we had. We really had an enjoyable afternoon.

Dinner was wonderful although a bit of a challenge since Tim and I only have two kitchen chairs. So we improvised - we used our computer chairs and some lawn chairs from the porch as well. It worked. :) After dinner, we ladies relaxed and we made the boys do the dishes since us girls did most of the prep. :P We had a great time visiting and were a little sad to see everyone leave. Here are some pictures that I hope capture the adventure of the day....






Monday morning Tim and I woke up and had to head up to Newmarket for Jason Ahlberg's wedding (he was marrying a really sweet girl named Madelaine). The wedding was at this beautiful horse farm and estate, and Tim was helping out with taking pictures again (anyone else see a trend here??) :P It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, the bride was beautiful and we had tons of fun catching up with friends.
Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of the bride and groom, but I do have a fun picture of Tim and I from the day. So enjoy. :P
