Thanksgiving

So... very few are aware that on the 16th of November, Kamron got laid off.  We're getting pretty tired of this unemployment game we play far too often...  I fell right into panic mode and all that jazz....

Fast forward to the day before Thanksgiving...   Morrissa went out to feed the rabbits and came back upstairs to ask, "Why is there food on our porch? Lots of food..."   Kamron and I went down to see what her definition of "lots of food" was.
 Sure enough - a whole Thanksgiving dinner.  Turkey, rolls, potatoes, butter, Stovetop Stuffing, two pies, corn, two kinds of cranberries, jello, root beer, and even sandwich buns and deli ham.  Fantastic!! I have no clue who left it, but it made me all emotional.  Hardly anyone even knew we were struggling.  It really was one of those heart touching things and I am so grateful.

Now fast forward a few hours...  Kamron had offered to cook the turkey and even seemed thrilled about it.  BUT he didn't want to get up eearly the following morning to get it in the oven, so he opted for cooking it the night before and then setting his alarm for 2:30 AM to take it out of the oven!  Getting up early to take it out kinda defeats the whole pupose of "not getting up early to cook it" doesn't it?? Funny guy!!

Thanksgiving day was relaxing and fun.  Tate and Kyndi were with Jeremy, and the rest of us all pitched in and made our dinner together.  I did potatoes and got all the little things ready (corn, cranberries, etc...). Morrissa made jello.  Tyson even figured out (after a bit of a struggle) how to make the stuffing. 

Dinner was fabulous.







Afterwards we played games with some serious hilariousness!

We played scattergories - the letter was A, the topic was "footwear" some typical answers may have been Adidas or ankle socks. Kamron wrote Athletes foot.
The letter: P.  The topic: things you wear. Tyson's answer: Panties. Oh really Tyson???
The letter: L. Topic: Things you play with.  Morrissa's answer: Lifegaurd.  Um.....


We had a very relaxing enjoyable day! Now, bring on the Christmas music!!!
