We here at the House of Rulis hope that each of you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Holiday. We spent our days hanging out with family, eating a ton of food, and working on Avery's nursery. Here's a short recap...
My aunt and uncle came in from Phoenix with my three cousins. Cordell is 6 and Kamryo is 5, so they are both at really fun ages. They both attached themselves to Nate and didn't let go the entire weekend. Kamryo's other favorite activity was taking Chloe (our little dog) for a walk, but I think that Chloe ended up walking her most of the time. We had an opportunity to take them fishing on Friday, but it was so cold and windy out that after a half hour we just went to McDonald's for happy meals (and they were just as satisfied).
Thanksgiving Day was great. We had 20 people at my mom's house with enough food for 40. Nate and I did our (now traditional) deep-fried turkey to go along with my mom's regular oven one. I was also in charge of the Kugelis (Lithuanian dish) and the green beans. Next year my mom said that I can try the gravy, so I'm excited about that. After dinner we all sat around a played board games and drank wine (or apple cider in my case). I must say that my mom gets pretty funny at Balderdash after a few glasses!
Saturday and Sunday were spent painting the nursery for me and working on a huge term paper for Nate. The nursery painting should be done in a few more days and I'll post some pictures when it is. Saturday night was definitely a highlight of the weekend. We were able to go to dinner with Erin and Joel. You should see those boys put it down at the all you can eat sushi place! It was wonderful to be able to catch up with them and just spend time with good friends. We definitely don't get to see them as much as we would like.
Well, that about wraps it up. Now it's back to work and looking forward to Christmas break! Hope you all are well.
Love, Brittany
