Thanksgiving again

Saturday was a pretty interesting day, they guys went off disc golfing and Mickie and I went off shopping. We were at walmart and Mickie was telling me that she wanted to get a candle for her house. We had a little extra time so I would show her over to this candle outlet store.

The place was packed. It was crazy. People were walking out with boxes. We looked at each other and said "Holy cow is it that great of a deal?" We walked in and walked out with 4 boxes combined. Yes it was that great of a deal. in between the walking in and out we did go home, tell the guys, and collected our thoughts so that we could get the right amount of candles. After calculating and buying I walked out with all Will's co-workers, primary presidency, home teachers, neighbors gifts, and some stuff for my self for under 50 bucks. Ok the gifts cost .33 cents each totaling 10 bucks, the rest was spent on me :) Don't judge, I got some wall sconces, candle jars to make pickles, and tins to fill and give as gifts. I also got more stuff, but that's all you need to know.

Will and I decided to make a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. We were pretty sad that we missed it, so I made some Cornish game hens, 3 pies, and pickles helped with the rest of the dinner. We had Travis and the Spences over.

The hens and pies turned out really good, but the rest was ok. It was my second time making gravy, and let me tell you that it did not turn out very good at all! I burned the rolls too. Thank goodness I had french bread from the day before. Yes I know it still wasn't the same.

Let me tell you the desserts turned out sooooo gooood! There was an amish apple pie, cream cheese chocolate moose pie, and a coconut cream pie (no one at the coconut besides Will :P). Yummmmm!!

I want to go to the candle outlet store too! Gosh, I love a good sale. Boy, we all know how much dad like candles, oh well, guess it's best I missed it.

I'm enjoying the pics of Hong Kong too!

"3 pies, and pickles " . . . I don't remember pickles! Where were they? Were they under the sweet potatoes that Mickie made?
