Turkey Day Numero Dos

We spent Turkey day with the Sansom's this year, instituting our first one family holiday. While we missed seeing Blake's family, we did enjoy not having the stress of having to drive all over Houston and not really seeing anyone except the car.
Emmy helped make the dressing. Mom justified this by saying that it would all go in the oven so any of the "nasties" that Emmy added would be baked off. She was so worn out from all this dressing making that she actually slept through lunch!
As usual, we all ate too much. Well, except my sister. Here's her pathetic Thanksgiving dinner plate... Emmy's was actually bigger I think!

Photographic evidence... I give it to Emmy!

Emmy ate so much of that plate that she not only had to unbutton her pants, she had to take them completely off =) It would be nice to have that option sometimes I think.
We also celebrated Sean's 26th bday! The desert Gallery will let you have half a cake, and it's really enough since there cakes are SO rich and yummy you can just eat a little bit. It just makes for some really funny pictures. My favorite part is that they squeeze Happy birthday onto the top. It looks like....happy birthday, here's your half eaten cake.

It was a nice relaxing holiday! We followed with a very successful Black Friday. We didn't haul Emmy out, but Blake and I woke up at 4 to head to Frys and Sears. We got a LOT of Christmas shopping, at the traditional Mexican lunch, and Mom and I closed down Macy's at 10 that night. Yes, it's absolutely insane, but we continue to do it every year! We're crazy! It's not Thanksgiving without it!
