grammy & grandpa ready for some turkey!
the meal shared with many friends
post-dinner entertainment provided by trey, gillian, kate & maris a splendid holiday filled with good times with friends and family both!
our day started off with the buttering the bird and the proper stuffing preparations. once those tasks were complete and the bird was thoroughly stuffed the grandparents kept the kiddos busy with traditional gingerbread tidings while pete and i hit the pavement. peter was excited to share a new hill with me. the cliffs! OMG is about all i have to say. my feet were barely moving. once we got back pete and marty started a laundry list of things to do while the turkey roasted. we now have shelves in the den, motion sensor lights in the basement stair well and outside the garage.
at around 2 we pulled the turkey out of the oven and threw it in the back of the car. we drove down the hill and shared an enjoyable afternoon with the neighbors. post dinner entertainment was provided by the kids in the english basement. there was a little karaoke, a little dancing and a whole lot of skipping.
after we loaded the majority of the dishes and wrapped up the leftovers we meet kristen and her girls at azeala park for a soccer scrimmage. it was so much fun and actually just what we needed to fend off the bloat. not sure that the teams were exactly even but no one cared. and according to kendall grandma and grandpa still have a lot of years left on the field. they made her top 5 list!
feeling refreshed we left kate and trey with grandma and grandpa and joined some new friends for desert and drinks and a howling good game of charades. a super ending to a fantastic holiday!
