Giving Thanks: Part One...

Thanksgiving happens to be my ALL time favorite holiday. I mean, who can resist the smell of baking turkey, stuffing, yams, rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, pies galore, apple cobbler and vanilla bean ice cream... to wash it all down?

My family caught the "humanitarian" bug... went all selfless on me... and decided to hit the road to build homes in Mexico over the holiday.
So... after a major tantrum that would rival the efforts of most two year olds... I convinced my lovely mother to celebrate Turkey Day, today.

*And celebrate, we did.







There is truly nothing more satisfying (or sickening) than stuffing yourself to the point of explosion.

And that's just round one... out of FOUR.

Coming up this week: Thanksgiving with the ward on Wednesday, Thanksgiving with Reece's family on Thursday... and Thanksgiving a la Jessica and Reece this weekend, as some good friends of ours join us in our attempt to create our very own feast.

Too much of a good thing?

I don't think so.
