Turkey and Stuffing and Pie! OH MY!

Our Thanksgiving feast was wonderful thanks to proper planning by David's parents. They understand that I am a little weird when it comes to being in a small space with lots of people. I usually freak out and storm off leaving David to find his own way home. (I can be a bit dramatic). Unfortunately, Lincoln inherited my aversion to crowds. (He can be a bit dramatic too). Since Ray and Jill know I am a spaz, they rented the American Legion building where there was plenty of room for David's humongous family. The final total of people attending our feast was 57! WHAT?! I know...my dad always jokes that we are going to have to reserve the Energy Solutions Arena for Thanksgiving before too long.

This picture is evidence that both Lincoln and I were pleased with the open space of the American Legion building.



After the feast, we went to Ray and Jill's for pie. It wasn't so bad at the house because people came and went and everyone was spread throughout the house. Again, Lincoln takes after me with his love of chocolate pie.



After pie, we headed home to get some beauty sleep for family pictures the next day. Since everyone was in town, we thought we'd take advantage of the opportunity by getting an updated family photo. The weather was perfect and the location was gorgeous. Lincoln however,...well...he wasn't the happiest little boy. Someone got this great shot of the brothers. I love it!



After wrestling with Lincoln for an hour and trying to get him to smile, we were finally finished. We were on our way home when...you'll never guess. Lincoln puked all over! Those who have read my previous posts can appreciate the irony. I guess pictures equal puke. Aah the joys!

It was a fun day. I sounds like Linc is trying to start a trend with the puking...Danger! :) I love his chocolate pie face...

I'm laughing at this post right now.(All in love, mind you.) I love the chocolate pie pictures. That's good stuff. That picture of the brothers is cool as well. I'm glad you had your space for Thanksgiving dinner. The whole puking thing makes me think that Lincoln really is allergic to picture taking.hee hee :)
