This is my first of two blogs that I plan on uploading today. As Jackie said, she is giving me the chance to write about our first Thanksgiving as a Morris family. The two of us headed over to my parent’s house for dinner and other family chatting and being together. We visited as we listened to Kristina play the piano. It was Jeran and Kristina, my parents, Justin and his girlfriend Stephanie, and Jackie’s Parents. It was the first time since our wedding that we had everyone together like that. It was a lot of fun to watch the parents talk about us and their other families, and share some good embarrassing stories about us. Aside from the visiting and conversations, the food was fantastic. We all pitched in and brought something to share with the rest.
One of the biggest highlights for me that night was to see Jackie eat pumpkin pie for the first time ever. She started with a slice a half centimeter wide, but I convinced her to eat at least a full bites worth, and with cool whip. As soon as she took the bite (hesitantly) she exclaimed “I like pumpkin pie!” and got herself a real slice.
To end the night we sat around and watched the movie Night at the Museum 2, then headed our own different ways. It was a fun Thanksgiving that we will remember for quite a while!
