It's been quite the Tday weekend. We were all supposed to gather at my parents' to put a new roof on their house but this premature winter nixed that. Even were we able to negotiate the cold, the snow would have made it miserable, and things never quite seal properly when the temperatures are inclement.

So we began the weekend with my son's first game of the season. we won. yeah us! Saturday was a day of housecleaning, grocery shopping and hair appointments. Cuts for the kids and a colour for me. My younger, you would swear I cut off his life by trimming his hair. It looked awful though. Long and stringy and it just seemed to make his mood darker and I wasn't thrilled about that. Now he looks human again, he looks happy and he's ticked LOL. We curled up to watch the Rider Game in the evening. Again, a win!!

Yesterday we gathered at my parents for turkey, ham and wayyyy too many fixings. There were 25 of us there. It's always something to see how our family has grown. From mom and dad and the kids to all these grandkids, grown, with girlfriends or boyfriends. Many hadn't seen my older one for awhile and were shocked to see that at 14 he's now 6 foot 1.5 inches. He has now beaten out his grandfather and towers over the rest of them. As my one niece put it "hiya there HOLY WOW gigantor!!!" eloquent to say the least.

It was a fast day as some had to head back to Alberta for work and two were heading back to the city as they have midterms at university this week.

And for today, the real turkey day? I am off to the school to do about 7 hours of marking and prep. Oh the joys of teaching :P

Have a super turkey day everyone.
