Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving! Tons of food, lots of family, and of course Christmas Vacation. For those of you who don't know of our tradition, we watch Christmas Vacation on Thanksgiving evening each year. It is our family's favorite movie, and one that we quote almost daily throughout the year! If for some crazy reason you haven't seen this movie, go right now to Blockbuster and rent it. It is my favorite comedy of all time!

Here is a picture of another family favorite...Potatoes! I think between my cousin Nate, Mr. Magoo, and me, we could polish off almost any amount of potatoes. So- my Dad is always sure to make a ton, so that we don't run out. Check out that pot! Yes- it is almost completely full of mashed potatoes. His arm was about ready to fall off after all of that mashing, but it was worth it! YUM!! Thanks Dad!

The kids got to do the wishbone. We thought it was going well, and then Chicky Magoo 1 won the break. She got very upset that now Chicky Magoo 2's wish wasn't going to come true. After some convincing that a wishing star that night could take care of that problem, she was better. Chicky Magoo 2 didn't seem to mind at all though, and was quite happy that it broke at all, and that because it broke we were all cheering. I don't think she understood what was going on. This picture was right before she realized that Chicky Magoo 2's wish wouldn't come true.
