Drew and I had the pleasure of hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year, which really doesn't mean much because Drew's mom did all the cooking. It was so much fun having it at our house, especially because we not only had Drew's parents here but also my brother-in-law Devon and our friends Sean and Lori. The day was filled with the usual AC/DC antics including Devon and Sean getting "iced", me trying to sit on a chair that wasn't there and falling on the floor, Bogey puking from eating too much table scraps, and me stepping in doggy "unpleasants" and tracking it all through the house. We also didn't buy enough oil to cover the turkey in the fryer, but luckily our friend Lori randomly had some cooking oil in her car and saved the day. What are friends for? When we finally sat down to eat we all got the giggles. All I remember of our dinner conversation is that Devon said his bald spot was sweating. Post-dinner activities included Drew and Devon playing music, Sean sleeping on the couch in my apron, and a walk in our neighborhood that ended with Christmas caroling... all in all a great Thanksgiving.
Drew's fun fact: Turkeys have heart attacks. The United States Air Force was doing test runs and breaking the sound barrier. Nearby turkeys dropped dead with heart attacks.
