This turkey is stuffed

Hey y'all,


I have been staring at the writing prompt for this week and trying to think of something creative. Sometimes looking at other people's answers messes with my head - I should not do that in the future because I turn into a defeatist and convince myself that I won't be able to write something more creative. So I'll have to work more on that.

However, I did want to post some pictures from our Thanksgiving celebration yesterday. My Aunt Ginger and Uncle Steve hosted 27 family members and close friends at their house yesterday. Because the large party does not dovetail easily with their lovely, but small, home, they rented a tent with sides and borrowed a bunch of propane heaters to let us eat outside! Check out the picture of Megan with spoons on her eyes - my smart aunt used authentic-looking plastic flatware that was actually see through, doubling as T-giving specs. The set up worked out really well and it was so nice to have one large table to celebrate all for which we are thankful. The rain (100% chance according to The Weather Channel - that's not really a "chance," is it?) drummed down steadily, but it didn't dampen the festive spirits inside.




After an amazing meal, and an engagement announcement from my uncle Michael, we partook in a little Catchphrase rivalry, which was more entertaining than it was competitive!










Hope you all had a great holiday and got a big jump on your holiday shopping today!

Jack,
I can tell already that you will be a wonderful blogger! Thanks for the YouTube link to Georgie's comment about "THE" Google, I had heard about it, but not seen the pathetic-ness with my own eyes. I see that your blog will not only be entertaining, but also very edumacational. Will you email us when you post new ones? or perhaps I can figure out how to set up an RSS feed....
