I am a grown-up sometimes :)

This Thanksgiving was kind of a special one. Even though I'm living with 2 of my siblings, both of them had other plans for Thanksgiving. So instead of tagging along with them, I decided to have all my other family-less-for-the-holiday friends up to my sister's in Salt Lake and cook them a real home-style Thanksgiving, just like Grandma made, right Tessa? Or, in Jake's case, Grandma's maids...or servants...or whatever you would call them. Weird.
But I bet your Grams never wore THOSE bunny slippers in the kitchen, eh? Didn't think so.

I have the greatest friends, I mean, not only are they good at being my friends, but they are great people in general. Gracie, Tessa, H, and Will all spent the night last night and Erin, Jake and Kathryn came up today. We are a handsome bunch of crazy kids. I love these peeps, and I wish a few more could have been there, but some people do have families...whatever :)My favorite baby's mamas. I love Grace and Kathryn so much its kind of disgusting.
So we collaborated and made a delicious, all from scratch dinner consisting of an amazing turkey with home-made stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, Tanya's famous rolls, salad, and about 500 pies. It was probably the best dinner ever served to humans in the history of dinners. Or humans.
We tried to keep all family traditions running, so before dinner we held hands and gave thanks, after dinner Grace sprayed our mouths with whipped topping, and we had a Crazy-Hat parade a la Kathryn's fam. It was exactly what it sounds like; we put on crazy hats and walked around the streets, all the while singing "Let me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool.


I am thankful for my friends. And my family. So so much. My family is amazing and I love them to bits and pieces. I don't know what I would do without them.
Oh, and I'm thankful for livers. And doctors. And organ donors.

1. You are looking amazing. :o) 2. I wish you could have been here for Thanksgiving... or we could have been there. 3. I'm too swollen for my wedding ring [and assume I'll stay this way for about another four months] so I bought one on sale at K-Mart yesterday. Peter said it looks about a step up from something you'd get from a quarter machine, but I think it's way nicer than that.
Happy two days after Thanksgiving!
love, m
