Thanksgiving! What good food! This is me with my cousin Melissa in the middle and my sister Julia on the right. We had so much fun!
My dog Saybl, what is there to say about her, other than she's the coolest dog ever. Right here she looks like Batman which I personally like. She likes to go out in the backyard and just bask in the sun. Can we say she lives a tough life? I mean, sometimes she has to sit on the left side of the couch instead of getting her preferred spot on the right side. Eventually she'll bark and push you off the couch to get it. No joke.
I think it might be safe to say that Eli was in a turkey coma.
Pre-Feast 2009: The BEST celebration ever. Since my senior year of high school, my friends and I have gathered together before Thanksgiving to warm up for the big day. We always include festive costumes and many fun games to celebrate the event. Our first year included making Jello that didn't have enough time in the fridge, therefore it was soupy with lots of sugar in the bottom. We decided to drink as much of it as we could, resulting in sickness. What fun. This year was not quite as daring, but still just as fun. As this was the 4th year we've done this party we decided to cook our own turkey and make a more 'traditional' feast, versus the KFC we've purchased for previous years. Tradition also dictates that all of us be indians...except for one. This year Steve was our pilgrim. Please notice the rifle in his hands.
Taking pictures is also part of the tradition with this party. We were so delirious at the end of the night it literally took us 15 minutes to get a picture. For some reason one of us kept leaning on each other (cough* Brooke *cough) and we kept swaying, therefore we couldn't stop laughing. The progression of pictures is absolutely hilarious. It looks like we all should be in a nut house. Who knows, there might not be a Pre-Feast next year because we will have a new home at the local insane asylum.
I have to say, this was one of my better costumes. The vest actually worked on the first try. Usually you make the neck too low, or too high, then you rip the shoulders, then it all rips. Don't believe, make a paper bag vest yourself and you'll find out, quickly. My headdress didn't turn out so well. I covered my paper feathers with wire felt that weighed the paper down, so I sort of just looked like a court jester. Every good party needs a court jester.
Ariel and I were VERY serious about this. No jokes when it comes to preparing for a Thanksgiving feast.
