What's Turkey without an After Party??

I was laughing so hard in this picture because my sister, Laura, said, "Ok, sayyyyy...Happy Thanksgiving"....instead of "Cheese". It may not be funny to anyone else but my thought was, "How can you spit all that out without being caught in the picture talking". ANYWAY...this year we were invited to Bo's for Thanksgiving. With Gram being gone, our family tried on a new tradition and good times were had by all!!!


My mother fell on black ice on Tuesday and broke her arm...boooo. :-( I came home on Wednesday and baked pies and peeled little onions all night long and into Thursday morning. I couldn't believe how exceptional the pies came out, given I do not LOVE making pies. I made Apple, Pecan and Chocolate Cream Pie...and NOT out of the box!!! I was up until 11:45p.m. pealing 3 big bags of onions to make boiled onions (a tradition of Gram's). We packed it all in a car and drove to Bo's. The food was AMAZING and everyone sat down and enjoyed each other's families!


Gabby decided she was NOT going to watch the football game but play football! She takes right after me as a child. I was such a Tom-boy. I'll never forget the year I wanted the Midnight Max Rider...which was a remote control car that when on, the headlights turned on!! YAY! This year for Christmas, Gabby doesn't want any dolls....she wants a remote control car!!! Too fun!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

After everyone left, we decided to mix up a cocktail and play cards!! I was winning the game and started getting bragadocious about it....

UNTIL......

I got caught SHOCKED that I lost!!! How could it happen??? I was so far ahead of everyone else. I could NOT believe it!!! :-)

And then when I saw how significant I got....all I could do was flip everyone off and laugh. In the end, it was just a game that we made up! At least according to Bo's rules....

Anyway, thank you Bo for inviting us to be with you and your family! You're a fabulous host and I had a wonderful time!
