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. |

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! |
