And the day of thanksgiving has come and gone...

My Thanksgiving Day, by Polt.

Got up a bit late, love sleeping in. Got online, read a bit, got showered, went to Mom's. Packed up the car. Went to get grandma. Drove to the community center. Unloaded car. Talked to relatives as they arrived. Teased and harassed some of the kids, but always in a good way. Went outside with some kids and played.

At the Thanksgiving meal. Delicious. Had two plates. Even had room for pumpkin pie, made by my cousin just like my grandma used to make. Played
Candyland with a three year old and a four year old....and didn't win. Went back outside and watched older kids on the swings. Did more teasing of kids. Packed things up, dropped grandma off, unloaded stuff at moms. Came home, got a shower, watched the first half of the Dallas Cowboys football game, filled out my Christmas cards. Ate a leftover turkey sandwich. Finished the Christmas cards. Celebrated the Dallas win. Watching the Arizona-Philadelphia football game on the NFL network.

Will soon go to bed to go to work tomorrow.

All in all, a pretty damn good day. And of course I have photos:


The community center when there were only 6 people there.



The community center at the height of everything.



The playing of the Candyland.



The comparison in heights between me and my cousin. He's 16. Yes, only 16, and he's already like 6'2" or 3". *SIGH* It sucks being old. You can see, though, he's got the hot and sexy gene so many of us in the family have. We who do try not to hold it against those who don't.

Sounds like a perfectly glorious Thanksgiving Day. Good for you.

Your cousin sure looks older than 16, and he is cute too.

Just like you Polt.
