Happy Thanksgiving!!
Woke up early and started cooking right away.
First made a pie, then put the turkey in. Katherine and I cleaned up the dining room and living room.
Katherine moved the desk around because she thought it looked better. We watched the Macy's parade while I cooked.
Jeff woke up way too early so he took a nap mid day.
Turkey was ready about 2:30 so the 4 of us sat down and had a nice dinner.
After dinner Jeff and I watched an MST3K on his computer in the office (they were having a Youtube marathon). It was called Teenagers from Outer Space and it had giant lobsters attacking the earth.
Later in the afternoon we watched a "Rehab Addict" marathon where they were refurbing this gorgeous mansion with a turret in Detroit.
Chris came over and brought Taylin (Jamie stayed at her brothers house with Damon). We had a nice visit.
At night Jeff and I watched Elementary.

Mario enjoyed watching the Macy's parade... sitting right in front of the TV.

Jeff spent the better part of today working.
I spent some time going through boxes of kids paperwork trying to organize them.
I also watched an all day NCIS marathon which included at least 6 Halloween themed episodes.
Katherine went with Jamie and the kids to a party in the late afternoon.
Jeff got home and he and I went up to the market to get some food and some candy for Jeffrey since he didn't go trick or treating.
When we got back we continued watching NCIS until 7 then watched the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror.
