What a beautiful day! High 71 degrees and a brisk breeze. Thanksgiving feast served at noon (we do this so we can turn right around and eat again at 5...genius). Pop and I set up a "table" in the yard (two saw horses and T1-11) to eat on. The players this year: Mom, Pop, Val, Kyle, LeeAnne, Matt, Aurora, Sarah, Corey, Gilly, Krista, Aiden, Sissy, Matt, Gavin, Noah, and myself. There were missing people and we noticed :( (Chad, Lee, Jenn, Mike, Brad, Ariel, Allen, Lynn, AJ, and Amelia). The food was incredible both in flavor and quantity... do you even want to know what we had? Ok, here it goes... turkey, ham, sweet tater casserole, squash casserole, rolls, mashed taters, corn, stuffing, giblet gravy, field peas, black eyed peas, something green with marshmallows, green bean casserole, rutabaga, cranberry sauce. And the desserts...pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie, caramel cake, and fantasy cake. Awesome!
The kids had a blast driving and riding on gators.
After eating and groaning about stomach aches, the adults played elimination. This has been done at every family function since the aunts/uncles were little (at least this is what I was told from the Helms side). Our beloved Val, fell. At that very moment, the group mutually agreed this was indeed a successful Thanksgiving.
