Four Thanksgivings

This year we over-extended ourselves once again. We started off by celebrating with my parents and the pups with all the holiday favs: turkey, honey baked ham, corn pudding, stuffing, pumpkin tartlets, etc. Matt and Bunny ODed on tripdafan and slept the afternoon away.

Mom and I did all the cooking...and the cleaning...how is that fair. But we found a second to pose for a quick picture.

After the 'rents left...a few friends joined us for left-overs, drinks, and games. Our crew included the Bozeman's, the Helleloids, and their cousin Drew. We played a competitive card game called "Nerts"which I definately sucked at. Poor Matt had to struggle along with me as his partner. Casey and I ransacked the newspaper for the Black Friday sales and coupons. We had to develop our strategies and battle plan for hitting the stores at 4am. Over the weekend, Matt and I journeyed to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where we celebrated an early Christmas with the Hollandsworths at my Uncle's condo.

And finally we visited Matt's parents and sister in Greensboro for a late Thanksgiving meal. As always, I fell asleep on their enticing couch. Everytime we've visited...no matter how short a visit... I have ALWAYS fallen asleep on that sofa.

All in all, a GREAT, but BUSY thanksgiving holiday.
