Thanksgiving With The Valles'

I thought I would write a post about my Thanksgiving with my family, to give everyone a look as to what the holidays are like with the Valles'.

First off, I had to work that morning at Starbucks. Can I just say I really enjoying working at Starbucks durning the holiday seasson. The company does a really good job dressing up the store and making it inviting. The store was pretty busy that day, a lot of travelers going in and out of town. I started at 6am, and was off by 145pm.
I was pretty tired and wanted to take a nap when I got home before out guests arrived.

When I got to the house, the kitchen was in full swing with my mom and my sister doing the last finishing toches on dinner. I told my family I was home, and then told them my plan to take a shower, and a nap before company arrived. Well, after my shower, I was ready to sleep, when I got a call from my Uncle Anthony who needed to know what street he needed to turn down to get to our house, because he was only 5 minutes away. Well, there went my nap. My Uncle and in laws arrived at the same time and Thanksgiving was about to start. The rest of the day was spent catching up with my Uncle whom I have not seen in a while. We talked about all sorts of stuff, as we ate from the snack trays my sister had made for us. My Mom's mom joined was shortly along with my cousin Shelly. Then my brother Nathan and his kind of girlfriend Rosa (I really don't know what she is to him) came over with the kids. (Alexis, and Mia)

With the whole family there, Thanksgiving could finally start.
The food was brought out and the spread looked like it could be in one of those home maker magazines. My sister-in laws husband gave the blessing (in Spanish because he doesn't know much English) and the feast was ready to start.

The night was filled with great food, awesome conversation, and time spent with family. Christmas promises to be the same, only this time my amazing girlfriend Allison will be there to join in all the fun. Trust me I will be posting that.

That was just a little glimpse of what life in my family is like. untill next time
