I think the holidays sort of crept up on us this year. I knew it was around the corner but just realized that Thanksgiving was this coming week. Apparently Jes was in Azeroth for too long to notice too because when I said we needed to buy our turkey he said, “Why?”. And when I told him that Thanksgiving was this Thursday, he said “What?! This Thursday?!”

So on Sunday, we went to the meat store to purchase the prime rib and fresh turkey. We also heard our first Christmas song of the year. This has to be a record. It was weird but also made me a little giddy. We have cousins in town this week so we’re having a cousin dinner on Wednesday night. On Thursday night, we’re having the parents and extended family over for turkey. And then on Saturday, we’re meeting up with Jimmy, Huy, and Holly for Thai food. Phew! To kick it all off, Jes and I went for a quick jog this evening in preparation for all the gluttony. I love this time of year.
