Thanksgiving 2013

What a day.
Here's the basics:

Tommy and I went to his aunt Janet's house for Thanksgiving. We arrived around 12:30(ish?) and had a nice time visiting with family we see every month ;)

Big family. Lots of birthdays, hence, a birthday party basically every month that celebrates alllll the people in their family. Usually includes some sort of delicious-but-bad-for-you-food wrapped in newspaper with inappropriate cards for the adults, and real presents for the kids.

There was a ton of turkey involved, and also some other Thanksgiving foods that I appreciate: cranberry sauce, rolls, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, turkey legs, and a corn casserole thing that is SUPER bad for you, but SUPER delicious. Seriously.

There are also these chocolate leaves at everyone's place setting. It's basically tradition that I eat my leaf, take a bite of Tommy's, and then try to make my wrapper look like the chocolate leaf again so that Tommy tries to eat it. Bwahaha.

We stay and chat, check the football games, and then end up having to leave before dessert because we have dessert with Tommy's dad at his parent's house. Anna, Dana, Marvin (Dana's fiance), Tommy, and I all drove back and had cherry and pumpkin pie from Baker's Square (Ugh, yum) and stay a chat a little bit there.

THEN.....Tommy and I drove to McHenry to visit with my aunt, uncle, grandparents, and cousins. We had dessert (yes, again) there- apple and pumpkin pie with plenty of whipped cream. Duh. It was nice to see everyone!

My parents were out of town visiting my mom's family- Grandpa and Uncle Kevin and his family. Yes, Foxy went with.

What else? Oh yea, then Tommy and I went home and had stomach aches from a big dinner and TWO desserts. Heh. So much pie.

I didn't go out Black Friday shopping until 11:30, and I only stayed out until 2:00 a.m. Quite a tame shopping night if you ask me. Without revealing any Christmas presents, here's the score:
