So i absolutely LOVE getting together with my family. There has not been one time when we get together and we don't laugh so hard that our abs hurt.
My Mom made the most delicious dinner ever complete with, Stuffing, Collared Greens, and of course the infamous Turkey. The first huge laugh of the evening came from this story:
We ALWAYS have either a Lemon Merenge Pie or at least a Lemon Cake for our major family holiday functions, usually all those gatherings in between as well. Well, my brother Chad and I discovered that there was NO LEMON PIE!! Now, I don't like pie, but he craves for that pie. My dad's excuse was that mom had gotten up too early to start the Turkey and it was in the oven all day so there was no time. I thought, "Well, at least there is a Lemon cake!" We got to joking about there not being any Lemon Pie and how Thanksgiving was ruined, and my niece Kaley revealed accidentally that the cake that was sitting downstairs was NOT a Lemon Cake. My mom immediately made the face at her like "NO!! Don't tell!" We FREAKED OUT!!!! NO LEMON CAKE!?!?!? WHAT!??!? And Mom tried to hide it...she thought she could hold it off until we went to go cut the cake. WTF!?! haha My dad was so shocked too...he had the most disgusted face ever and all the sudden he yells out "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU MAKE!?" haha Funniest thing ever.
Naomi was out at the store getting some last minute items, so Chad immediately called her and told her to get all the ingredients to make a Cake and Pie! She saved Thanksgiving because he and I almost left.
Anyway, we finalized all the dinner items and began to eat together downstairs. We started talking about the movie "Twilight" and how they all wanted to go see it (again!) Yeah, with the exception of my mother the girls of the family had all seen it at least 2 times already. I was strongly AGAINST going to see it after all I've heard of it's cheesiness. I tried getting them to go see the new 007 movie, but to no avail. So we didn't end up going to see a movie at all. Instead we ended up watching a bunch of movie trailers online haha then we played games.
This year we decided to draw names for Christmas presents. I think it will be fun and different, and EASIER on each of us. Especially with the tough times lately. We decided to not discuss who we drew and keep it a surprise. We'll create a master Christmas Wish list so people can find out what others want for Christmas.
Hope everyone had a tasty and fun Thanksgiving!!
