It looked a little something like this:

It's unfortunate that we've lost the charger for our camera battery right during the holiday season.  

It's one of those things that you hate to buy as a replacement, 

because I'm pretty sure it's going to turn up in the most unusual spot;

and then what do you do with TWO camera battery chargers?

As you can guess, both of our batteries for the camera are long since dead,

which made it impossible to document our Thanksgiving holiday.

As we were driving home, I told Taylor that I was sad to realize that this holiday, 

although full of good times, 

would be lost to my faulty memory, 

forever.

I told him to remember the details for me.

On the bright side, 

all of the things that we did, 

have all been done before, 

and after gleaning pictures from years past, 

it looked a little something like this:

We headed down to my parent's house for the first half of the week, where we had our annual pie day:

We celebrated Pre-Thanksgiving with my family.

What is Pre-Thanksgiving?

Pre-Thanksgiving (yes, it's happened before) = when it's your year to spend the holiday with your family, but your parents have decided to visit one of your out-of-state brothers instead.  Your mom feels guilty about ditching you, so she puts on an entire Thanksgiving dinner before they leave town.

After Pre-Thanksgiving, my parents packed up their stuff and headed back east.   

So Hazel and I kept busy by enjoying time with our friends Jami, Emri, Jett, Melissa, Parker and Max. It looked a little something like this, except we were at Chick-Fil-A and nobody was wearing shorts.

For the second half of the week, we headed up to the Oberg's,

who had graciously accepted us for another year of Thanksgiving at their home.  

Just like last year, Hazel was sick, and didn't want anything to do with eating,

Taylor smoked up another AMAZING turkey,

we had a ton of food and ate way too much,

(Nov 2010)

and we watched lots of movies and football games.

Here's to hoping that we find our charger for the Christmas holidays, or you might just be looking at recycled pictures for the rest of the year...
