Turkey Day

New Pictures here

Ahh T-Day. Although it's based on the rape, pillage, and defecation of the Native Americans, it's still a nice time to get with friends and family to remember that we have so much to be thankful for. I was planning on going home to OKC to spend Thanksgiving with the fam, but I have to go back early for Brad's wedding, so instead of flying home for over a week, coming back for about 2 weeks, then flying back for 2 weeks, I decided it would be better for me to just spend it with my Mid-City church family/friends instead. I made my way over to Stefanie/Renee/Jenn/Tiana's place (NBH) for this festivity. We had a large meal yesterday consisting of veggies, salads, Tofurkey, (Tofu-Turkey for us vegetarians and vegans which is actually really good), real Turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and the other traditional dishes. Good, good eating. Thanks to everyone that pitched in! There were about a dozen people there for the eats. After linner we cleaned up, tried to pack as much of the leftovers into the fridge as humanly possible, laid around and chatted for a bit, played Telephone Pictionary, then Nate, Stef, Renee, Jenn and I played a rousing 3 or 4 hour game of Progressive. This lasted until about 11:45pm. This morning a group of us headed up to Julian where we spent the afternoon. Many, many city slickers had the same idea so it was crowded. We waited about 30-40 minutes for the Julian Grille which ended up being mucho expensivo. Then it was time for pie and ice cream with cider. Mmmm the best part of Julian except for the mountain air. I got some gloves while I was there (thanks for the x-mas gift Mom) and then realized it's Buy Nothing Day! Oops! Oh well, I'll have to spend some extra time in what Eric calls "Consumer Purgatory". The gloves are well worth it.
