A Turkey Coma
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Like many of you, I've been preparing for guests. We had 13 friends and family over yesterday and had a wonderful time. The food was yummy! I'll post pictures of it later. Fortunately, there wasn't time or room for anyone to settle into a turkey coma. The day consisted of the usual eating marathon, a nerf dart contest, a walk to the park and gingerbread cookie decorating. You'll never guess what the highlight was though... Much to my shagrin it wasn't the turkey or my homemade gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls or pumpkin pies.
Yaya received her cousin's old train set Wednesday night. Bird spent about 3 hours putting it together when we got home. He wanted her to wake up with a surprise. Her eyes got HUGE as did the smile on her face when she saw it Thanksgiving morning. Even better is the fact that it became my new coffee table. HA! (Just my luck, it's too big for any other room in the house.)
Family is headed back over today for leftovers so I better start preparing for round 2. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying the great bargains on this rainy black Friday.

I had a good Thanksgiving... glad to hear you did, too!
I did go shopping... 1st time I've ever gone out shopping on Black Friday. My mom and I did some midnight madness shopping at the outlets. Um... madness indeed. I think I may do a post about our adventures. And I shall title the post:
NEVER. AGAIN.
Sounds like Christmas morning, not Thanksgiving.... ;)
I´m glad you had a good time with your family!
Nerf darts & gingerbread decorating? How much fun is that!!! I'd take that over a train set ANYDAY!!!
Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving. Ours was quiet, just Dave and I but it was nice. I was up at 4 this morning and in the stores by 4:40 getting some great deals but boy am I tired :o)
What a lovely new coffee table you now have. ;)
She looks thrilled. Isn't that what life is all about.
Soon enough she'll be grown and you'll remember these days and wonderful.

I'd love to head over for left overs!! I forgot to bring left overs home from my inlaws!
I got too full too fast! Ugh! I'd love to have a Thanksgiving meal once a week! LOL!
It sounds like you had a GREAT Thanksgiving. That's awesome!!
sounds like a wonderful time!
it was raining? uugh. it was sunny here and 40 degrees...it may be a little warmer there;)
Looks like you had a busy day! I love the train set! I wanted to tell you that I went ahead and sent a letter to that place we talked about. JP was nervous about doing it incase of a not guilty verdict, but it isn't looking too good for that to happen. I pretended the letter was from him with mom typing it, but he knew about it and said it was ok.
Frizzy,
I am loving your new coffee table, sweet sis! lol
I am so happy you had a great Thanksgiving! ((hugs)) to you!
Welcome to Christmas, Friend!
