A little back story. Before Halloween, Kara informed me that she never saw "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" You can imagine my fear when when Thanksgiving came around. Luckily she did inform me that she enjoys watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There is hope for that girl yet. The Cast of characters for this episode included my Roommates Brent & Leslie,
Mom & Dad Schnee, Heidi & her Fiancee Chris, Brent's Girlfriend Michelle, Cousins Mark & Ramona, and friends Marsha & Trinh.
So we have learned the value of communication from this Thanksgiving. It appears that somewhere along the line, having regular mashed potatoes is a staple in most homes, however mashed sweet potatoes don't count. Between everybody there, we had averaged 1 pie per person, No Mashed Potatoes, and enough alcohol flowing to say that the blending of families was a successful event.
The next day found us heading out in the morning to have Kara's Cat Scanned at Piedmont Hospital. Poor thing was suffering from Headaches for the past few weeks. (I'm the one for the past few months, huge difference between the two). Kara I think was worrying that it was going to take for ever, to our surprise we were in and out in 30 minutes. This was great cause it gave us time before the Auburn / Alabama Game. As you can see Kara and her love of football was ready for this one.
Unfortunately Auburn lost that game, but Kara got to experience it with the Clark family and Michael's new house. Kara and I have been talking about different places that we would like to get and Michael's house was definitely a model of something that we would like. I'm glad I finally got to see it.
A weekend of Friends and Family can not be completed without a stop in with the Natic's. Poor Kara was mad I think cause I vetoed getting a Christmas Tree up the Day after Thanksgiving as my Sister was not going to be around. Luckily Kara's Sister was nice enough to let Kara decorate the Tree, after ordering Neil and I to bring it down from the attic and be covered in insulation. Kara did a great job with the tree while sneaking in "Rubbing Da Belly". The night was also capped off with One of the biggest upsets in College football with UGA upsetting Tech.
Poor Kara has been a great sport with my Football "Addiction" this year. This weekend was definitely a testament to her. Lucky for her the Bears are probably going to miss the playoffs (doesn't mean I'm not going to sneak in time to watch games).
Even though we are a little late, we both hope that you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Kick off to this Holiday Season.
