2nd Thankgiving

Well, I was told by Tim that I needed to blog about 2nd Thanksgiving, as if I wouldnt anyway... but here it is.


Yay 2nd thanksgiving! To be honest, I am not sure how many years we have done this... But I think the first year was freshman year of college... if thats true and we have not missed a year, that means this was our 7th annual 2nd Thanksgiving at Tims! Ugh, that makes me feel old.

Fortunately, the conduct of the participants of 2nd Thanksgiving did not make me feel old. :)

The partygoers: Tim, Laura, Lauren, Dave, Dr. Moll, Mrs. Moll, Nancy, Dan, Michelle, Jeff, Jenny, Leslie, Ben, Jon, Jon, and me

The partypoopers: Vicki, Paige, Brian, Jenn, and Aaron


Dinner kicked off at 6.... oh wait, no it didnt, because in our typical fashion everyone kind of arrived late. But thats okay, more time for socializing and whatnot. Jenny and Nancy and Dan got to go see Paige, Brian, and their baby girl Lea who was born on Tuesday. Everyone said both parents looked exhausted but happy and Lea was adorable. :)

Dinner was excellent in typical Tim fashion... actually, we are going to blame it all on Tims mom who does a TON of work to have us all over. I know she enjoys having us there, but she does almost all of the work, especially the cleaning up. It was great to see her too.

After dinner and coffee and dessert, we played UH UH!!!!! and then a round of Celebrity. Overall, it was a lot of fun and really great to see everyone and enjoy company. This year was a little low on participants with so many people marrying off and moving out of state... but I am predicting in 5 or 6 years, it should be a pretty big rowdy group with not only significant others, but little kids! Crazy how times change. Its so wonderful to keep growing with my friends and seeing them move into their own lives. Its just really good. :)


So that is 2nd Thanksgiving... we talked a lot about old times (as usual) but the extras did not seem to mind so much. Either they have heard the stories so much that they can relate and remember them as if they are their own, or we are just so crazy and animated that they get a kick out of watching us crack ourselves up.

Oh... and Leslie and I matched, but it worked out because we got to play the Whose Line? game where someone else is your arms. I got to be the arms. I think Jon took video of it, so I will have to see if I can get it up on youtube or something. :) Hehe... It was fun, I laughed so hard that my abs kinda hurt right now as I am typing this. How pathetic is that? Its actually been so long since I have been to the gym that laughing for a few minutes makes my abs hurt.


Anyway, I had a great 2nd thanksgiving and a pretty good weekend aside from that... spent lots of time with Tait (sp?) and Mattea, I think moreso than anyone else, to be honest... and it was good to play with them. Keeps me sane and gives me hope that maybe one day I really could be a mom and not be horrendous at it.

And tomorrow.... grading papers. lots and lots and lots of papers. sigh.



sweet dreams!
