In order to catch everyone up after this extended weekend I'm going to cover a few days at a time over the next few posts!

It's been a GREAT past few days!

Wednesday after a grueling day at work (it's only grueling because I knew I was hours away from starting my holiday weekend!) I was able to rush home and see my DAD!!

My Dad!

Bud picked him up from the airport and entertained him while I "toiled" away at my half empty office.

For dinner that night we ordered from Artz Rib House.

There is a special you can get, but only if you call it in for pickup!

It's 2 pulled pork sandwiches for 5.50.

We ordered 4 and settled in to watch Zombieland (Dad hadn't seen it yet).

After we ate and while we were still watching the movie I started on the Thanksgiving food.

I made a pumpkin and pecan pie, the mashed potatoes, and my world famous cream corn.

THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

We were up bright and early.

Since Bud & I have been in Austin we....he has had a tradition of running in the Turkey Trot, this is his 5th year!

It says there were more than 18,500 people registered for the run and a quarter of a million dollars was raised!

Bud on the final leg of the run!

When we got home I started preparation of the Turkey and the rest of the Thanksgiving Fix-ins.

Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Garlic & Cheese Potatoes, Cream Corn, Asparagus w/ Hollandaise sauce, Pumpkin Pie, & Pecan Pie...yummy!

After we ate Bud rushed off to make it to the UT vs A&M game.

Dad & I relaxed at home and at the last minute decided to go see Megamind 3D!

It was a really good movie and one that I would highly recommend.

I don't think it really matters if you see in in 3D or not, in fact I'm a little tired of 3D movies, but the movie is cute and funny and exactly what we expected it would be!

Dad & I are movie people....we can watch them all day long and we are in heaven.

So there are the first couple days of Dad being in town, I'm off to work on a few more Christmas presents so I hope everyone has a Blessed Sunday evening!
