Gobble Gobble Here & An Oink Oink There

My most favoritest holiday has come and gone once again.

Actually, it will have come and gone after tonight when we go to our fourth and final Thanksgiving feast.

I've begun to sprout cheesy potatoes in places I would rather not disclose to the innernets and I oinked once on accident today from all the ham I've consumed.

I love this holiday for several reasons:

1) I don't have to buy anybody anything.

2) People feed me obnoxious amounts of delicious food that, for the most part, I didn't have to cook.

3) Simply being together with my family and friends and eating our faces off is quite possibly my favorite pastime.

Don't worry I'm not going to get all cheeseball on you but I am so super duper sparkly heart thankful for my friends and family.

We all live relatively close and are lucky enough to see eachother on a regular basis (good thing I like them all) so Thanksgiving just becomes a time to get out the fancy paper plates and wine glasses and watch the kids go batshit crazy play nicely.  I love that.  I just wish I could handle the "stress" of it a little better rather than screaming 'GET YOUR COAT ON NOW WE'RE LATE, WHY AREN'T YOU EVEN DRESSED YET WE NEED TO GO NOOOOWWWWWWW!'  I promise I'm working on that.

Xanax would probably help.

Anyways.

Meet my family

This picture is stolen from here

I know, we're a pretty good lookin' bunch.  You don't have to tell me that.

Here are the two crazies, with the other two crazies.  Also stolen from above reference.  Please don't sue me.



Yep, that looks about right ... chaos



As I was tucking Alexa into bed last night I asked her what she was thankful for and without a moment's hesitation she said 'you,' right then my heart melted into a puddle all over the floor.  Or, I might have peed myself because I thought for sure she would say Tinkerbell and mac-n-cheese.

If she only knew how thankful I was for her and her sister I think her head would explode.

OK, I'm off to go into yet another food induced coma.

Wake me up Christmas Day.

Oink,

Teisha
