After showering and getting ready I went to Sheri's and got my little turkey and took it to Cathi's to cook it in her roaster oven. As I was walking to my car I remember that I woke up this morning thinking I needed to look under my car seat for my debit card. As soon as I got to the car and opened the door, I saw the debit card lying on the floor just under the front seat. Hopefully I can call tomorrow and reinstate it.
After getting the turkey in the roaster I made a trip to Walmart to get some corn. James picked up the cranberry celebration for me.
This morning while we were still at Cathi's Kim brough by a pumpkin delight dessert for James. It was still warm from the oven. How thoughtful! She knows how much he loves this dessert. Kim and Brian are going to Brian's parents this year.
I cooked at Cathi's because she said it would be fine. I made yams, macaroni and cheese and corn. James sliced the turkey, set up the kids tables and made his famous punch with citrus juices, pineapple juice and almond extract and Sprite.
Sheri was gone this morning until about 11. She ran the Turkey Trot with Connor and Michael. Trina didn't go this year because Addy was sick.
The kids ate outside and then played soccer and some of us colored.
Ruby and Evan chasing after the ball.
Lola trying to get in on the action.
Addy found her Disney bracelet she thought she had lost.
Waiting for the kick.
Trina and Darrel left pretty early because they were also going to her families Thanksgiving at 4:30. Some of us went to see the house being built just south of Cathi and Terry's.
Yes, that's Joshua. He came with Michael and Adam.
Michael loves this house and Joshua says he hopes his family can buy it.
Even James was impressed. As you come in
the front door their is a staircase that starts as one and
then splits and goes in both directions up the stairs.

Sheri and her boys and Jared and his kids went to the movies this afternoon. Some saw "The Good Dinosaur" and Ian, James and Anna saw "Mocking Jay.""
James went back to Cathi's and did all of the dishes there, plus he helped with the dishes at Sheri's. He was tired and so was I so we went back to the motel.
When Jared and his kids got back to the motel, Molly said she was sleeping in our room. I told her that was fine but she needed to go get her pajamas. When she got back to her room Jared had just left to go down to the car to get something. Molly decided to follow him, but Jared had no idea she was coming. Anyway, he got back to the room and asked where Molly was. No one knew. Jared took off with his kids to look for her and I called down at the desk. The guy who answered the phone said he saw a young girl go outside. He sent people out to search the parking lot. In the meantime, Jared and his kids opened the door of the elevator on level 3 and there was Molly, standing there crying. She gave us quite a scare for about five or ten minutes! I called the front desk and told them we found her.
Molly sleeps in the bed on the other side of me and goes to sleep but keeps coughing in her sleep. James is on the other side of me snoring loudly. I said a prayer and all of the noise stopped. It was like a mini-miracle.
We watched the movie "Handcuffed for Christmas" starring Mario Lopez. It's a pretty funny movie.
