Our Not So Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner

For Thanksgiving we decided to stay home and Connie made meatloaf for the first time. We also had mashed potatoes, rice and mixed veggies. John however wanted fish instead of meatloaf. The video below shows his explanation of our not so traditional dinner. While eating I skipped through the movie Rec 2 while telling Connie that I didn't think we could watch it. Just as I stopped it a character said "Puta mierda!" which is not nice language. John immediately said in a very clear voice "Puta mierda is a bad word." I turned the movie off. We asked him where he had heard that from but of course he cannot remember. I'm just thankful he didn't repeat it in church.

A Birthday Party For Don?

Last Saturday marked only the 2nd birthday party for me since Connie and I have been married. I'm just not the party kind of person, I tend to shy away from celebrations in general. But I decided to use it as an excuse to get some people together. I invited all of the families that I home teach from church as well as my teaching companion. Unfortunately only one of them came. Still, we had other friends come and I grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and made chili (which wasn't ready until after everybody left). The joke of the night was that Almir would blow out my candle. You see, his sister Adela blew out John's candle on his birthday. Anyway, we had a good time so I guess I'll schedule the next party in about 5 more years.
