What are Things You Eat at Thanksgiving

But you're supposed to say it like you're on Jeopardy-- like you're answering in question form to Alex Trebec. "What are... things you eat at Thanksgiving, Alex." Like that. And the answer would have been something like this: standard turkey, stuffing with celery, onions, and poultry seasoning (wholly without sausage, cornbread, or anything that could be found in a trail mix), homemade rolls, green beans, sweet potatoes, from-scratch creamy mashed potatoes w/ gravy, all washed down with slivers of pumpkin, coconut, and chocolate silk pie. Mmmmm hmmmmm. I accept.

This year Thanksgiving also included Bingo, which was fun. Skyler was The Twirler-- you know, the person who twirls the basket and dumps out the wooden ball with the call letter / number on it?

For the most part I was the Caller - " B- 16," I'd call.
Both of us still played, which may see like a conflict of interest to you, but I assure you it wasn't. No Thanksgiving Cheating going on here. What? Well, yes, that is a picture of me with my winning BINGO card. Thanks for asking.

But, no conspiracy theories allowed against me here on my very own blog.

I think we'll have to be more organized and play for $washingtons$ next year.

We also played a little football in the yard, in classic Thanksgiving style. (Not that this concerns all of you, exactly, but I just realized there were some pictures taken in my head that I'm not seeing here... I must have taken them on Skyler's Mom's camera. So, I'll have to come back and do some picture fill-ins once I *thieve those from her. * This pre-admit to guilt does not mean we're guilty of rigging BINGO. Thanks for asking).

How cute is this guy? Getting his football-in-the-yard game on. Anyway, Happiest of Happy Thanksgivings to one and all. Love this time of year. The weather was supposed to be horrible, but as you can see, This Guy is in short sleeves, no problem. The sun was shining, the food and company were lovely, and all-in-all a relaxing Thanksgiving. I should use all-in-all more often. It's a little off-putting if you think about how odd it is, but don't and just try working it in to your next conversation and let me know how it goes.

That's about all I got on Thanksgiving for now. Maybe I'll update it once I get some more pics. Because everyone knows that blogs without pics are B O R I N G. No offense to all you pictureless bloggers out there, but help a reader out and get some illustrations :)

More soon,
Melanie
