Let's see now, where had we left off... oh yes, the scary, unshowered version of myself. (shudder)
Well here we are. Showered and clean, (that's the back of my head over by the microwave because I could just tell you were dying to know) I made the yummiest Spinach Artichoke dip which everyone in this picture is consuming in mass quantities. Except for the kids, who were consuming hot chocolate in mass quantities. I'll share all the recipes on Friday.
Games came after the snacks.
Including the famous Smith version of "Chicken Feet". Its a domino game that brings out the best... and worst of my family.
I'll show you what I mean. Take my dear, sweet, innocent looking mother for instance. Here she is, claiming to take pictures of the fun when really, she was doing reconnaissance.

Do you think we look alike? Well, except for the long hair... which he actually use to have in his early 20's. (eeeww)
This year, I am thankful that our trampoline didn't break.
Back inside, the preparations of Thanksgiving dinner continue. Of course, I should have known better than to let my crazy sis near water. She claimed she was washing potatoes...

Of course, as the craziness began to pick-up, Alayna knew just what to do.
Well, we all ate, ate, and ate some more. Once every was stuffed full of too much turkey, things got REALLY exciting.
Told ya.
And even though all the male specimens in this family need haircuts.
Don't worry, tomorrow is the conclusion to this truly enthralling Thanksgiving story.
Okay, was that a sigh of sadness? Or relief?
4 super cool people speak:
So many great pictures. I think the funny stories like you buying the huge turkey (and me cooking it with the bag of "goodies" still inside years ago) where we continue to get laughed at make good bonding memories. :)
That turkey is heavier than, like, all of your kids!
All these pictures...bring so many WONDERFUL feelings...I had SUCH A GREAT TIME!!!!
What kind of animal is growing on Luke's face?
