Something I learned today: Zumba is incredibly difficult when you have gravy coursing through your veins. Like me, this week.
We just finished "Thirdsgiving"--our third Thanksgiving meal in four days. It's the price of being well loved I guess.
Despite the extended fullness and utterly predictable my-pants-don't-fit whining, I feel incredibly blessed. Huge thanks to the chefs, and all of our family and friends who helped celebrate.
And of course, a few snaps:
First Thanksgiving
 |
| Marm's beautiful table. We enjoyed the "crackers" aka glitter bombs with small presents, crowns and trivia inside. |
 |
| Caramel apple pie, if you please. |
 |
| Me and "little" brother Joshua. |
 |
| Eric John, not thrilled to be posing. |
 |
| Tim and Marm. |
 |
| Ray-dad and Mom-5. |
 |
| Tiff and Carl. |
 |
| Charming, as always. |
 |
| Meena could use a Grumpy Pug meme. |
Second Thanksgiving
 |
| In case you wonder what a 30-pound turkey looks like. |
 |
| Legs that wouldn't be out of place at Medieval Times. |
 |
| Master carver, Lisa. |
 |
| Lovely tablescape and handmade name tags by Miss Claire. |
 |
| Todd enjoying affections from his auntie. |
 |
| Pre-dinner conversation and apparently the end of my photography for the evening! |
 |
| Yours truly got the carcass. Soup's on! |
Thirdsgiving
 |
| I'm telling you, Grumpy Pug. She could be famous. |
 |
| B, Marm and Meena. |
 |
| Me and Manda. |
 |
| Forlorn Meena. |
 |
| B and LJ who is apparently not pleased that I keep teasing him about loving Christmas music. |
 |
| D'aw. |
 |
| Good friends. |
 |
| We should be at Disneyland! |
 |
| When pugs attack. |
 |
| Prime rib. It's what's for Thirdsgiving. |
 |
| Yeah, that's garlic. No vampires visiting our house tonight. |
 |
| Heavy hangs the head... |
 |
| Really wish New York and California were closer together! |
