Thanksgiving 2007

Thanksgiving yesterday was quite by my parents. Just DH, myself and the kids. Then my G'pa and a family friend. The feast was great!! WAY to much food. I wished my camera wouldn’t have ran out of memory space and battery b/c I laughed so hard when I saw dad walk from the garage to the neighbors tree with this at least 12 ft board. Wondered what in the heck!?? Well he got the dogs toy stuck in the tree and he was going to try and get it out with that. Well mom and I watched and things were not going well. Shortly there after he was in the garage and out he came with a ladder. Oh my goodness he was going to climb the ladder AND use this 12 ft board that when lifted in the air that high got top heavy. I grabbed the camera but the sound wasn’t on. We called DH to go out and help b/c we (mom and I) knew this was going to end with either dad on the ground or the board thru a car windshield. Jeff got it out in one try but by then I was laughing so hard and the words coming out of dad’s mouth were hilarious. I so wish the sound, even if the video didn’t turn out, would have been on. You all would have been laying on the floor holding your stomachs!!

So yes that was a funny part of the day as well as C'man and G’pa eating the turkey NECK and HEART!! Oh my gosh is was horrible. Video below showing it….Carson thought it was the best thing since butter on bread.

We had plenty of food and everyone was stuffed. I brought some wine to wash it all down with. $4.99 WINE (is that even considered wine?!) but man we all thought it tasted pretty darn good!!

DH was crazy enough to go shopping this am. He shined his cell phone light in to my eyes @ 430 asking me if I wanted anything… I mubbled ‘you are freakin IN SANE’ Well he ended up not leaving till 7 (he said he had a gut ache) and yes he shopped. Best Buy wasn’t bad but Target was horrible. He called me and said ‘it’s NUTS in here. I’m shopping with 500 WOMEN who are nasty to one another and have no regards for anyone or thing” I chuckled and said THAT’S why I stay home.

He went to Lowes, Menards, HyVee AND K-Mart. I think he HAD to been smoking something to do all of that!!! Now he’s heading out to work cattle. I think he’ll be crashing by 6 tonite. If the shopping didn’t do him in the cattle most certainly will. Hopefully he has enough energy to stay alert with the cows. He’ll come home bruised, beatin and exhausted if he isn’t!

What did you all do for Thanksgiving?? Any family traditions shared? New ones started? Any hilarious moments at your gathering???
