Thanksgiving

The last weekend has been nothing if not eventful, but I've decided to break it up between posts as there is just far too much to fit into one blog. So Let's begin with Thanksgiving.

We headed over to J.G. and A.J.'s for the afternoon. There were only four families, but we added up to 23. We had SOOOOOOO MUCH FOOD. It was crazy. A.J. harnessed the kids and let them try out his climbing wall. (No I didn't take any photos, but K.L. did....so soon people). We all ate way too much and then each fell into our own respective food comas.

After we all regained consciousness we did a quick clean up and then A.J. broke out the cards and poker chips. He had to explain the rules of Texas Hold 'Em a good three times before J.J., T.J., and I felt comfortable enough to try a hand (K.L. had no problem as she is an avid Celebrity Poker watcher and if R.L. needed lessons he never did elude to that fact).

So the games began. We had was a blast, played twice, J.G. won the first game, R.L. the second. Believe it or not I held on for a good while during both games. (I'm so proud). After that we loaded up and left.

It was late, we were tired, and I wanted nothing more than to unload the leftovers, put everything away, crawl into bed, and crash.

Sounds like fun. We went to Lore's for dinner on Friday night and hung out for a while. It was fun and nice to be with friends.

Tday we spent watching football, golf and parades....Lore's family was traveling on Tday so we didn't eat until Friday. Worked out well for us.

Sounds like you had a good day but would have loved to have you here. We had 33 and as usual it was a mad house. Played Battle of the Sexes and again as usual the girls won. It was great fun. Micah brought home a friend from New Zealand and she was rather shocked, said everything they say over there about American's was proven right-of course Uncle Dan put on quite a show. Just family.
