Gobble Notes, 11/25/2010

Thankful holiday was awesome once again! Paula, Joey and Kristen single handedly inhaled the smashed potatoes at our table! Greg brought the monster chocolate chip cookies! Pies and kruschikies were delicious (although we missed the SW boys eating the cupcakes!) The "WE" team (Ed & Wil) cleaned up at tripoly, even though Keri and I BOTH had the queen/king of hearts TWICE and couldn't play them!! Hunter and Paul both got tripoly training. Football was watched and since Jacquie was there we didn't root against the Cowboys (but we didn't exactly root for them ;)! Hunter, Chris and John tried hard to finish the handle of jack (ouch)! Mark led the annual walk (neither snow, nor sleet nor rain rain)....Aunt Vic filed for elder abuse for being forced to go on the walk. The teens and tweens were loud and ate any extras! Nathaniel and Wil added noise and Selah entertained all with her non-stop talking (Kristen may have a new rival!). Aunt Irene made us all introduce ourselves to the new folk (even if Ed kept calling them "rent a relatives!"). Some folks napped on the chairs an couches (no names needed Sheri & Ed). Keri's Fontbonne commercial was reviewed (5 out of 5 stars;). Second round of food was served before anyone could possibly be hungry, but we all ate again anyway!! Thanksgiving ads were poured over and early a.m. plans hatched (and executed this morning at 3a.m. with texts to the Phoenix clan representing black Friday in the SW)! And of course John & Jan & girls put on an amazing spread where everyone ate too too much! Fat and happy, with family and friends that's what the holiday is all about!! Thanks J & J!!
