So here they are, Thanksgiving photos right as Christmas is upon us. And it's such a busy time of year!
Robin enjoyed his second Thanksgiving, which was the first in which he was able to partake in the meal. Yum! Robin is probably the only one who didn't overeat, as he hasn't quite reached that cognitive level yet. It was awesome to be able to let him eat what we did, and he definately enjoyed the wide variety of food.
Some pictures of our big long table and everybody at it. This was at Dean's parents' house. Virginia, Dan, Audra, Del, Cyndy, Jackie, and Kathy.
Dean, Robin, Eileen, Jim, Miles, Howard, and Sue
Dean, Robin, and I went over earlier in the day, and Robin (sort of) took a nap in his grandparents' bedroom. Then everybody else arrived, and we socialized for a while before the big meal.
After the meal, we took some time to allow ourselves to digest. Uncle Howard had a nasty surprise for us--chocolate covered pizza. They had leftover chocolate from the dessert they prepared, so
Howard wanted to dip some leftover pizza in it and they asked if we were brave enough to try the mystery treat. It was pretty gross--not a combination that I would care to have together again. Apparently it was
payback for the Thanksgiving-Feast-Flavored-Sodas from Jones' Soda that we served four years ago when we hosted Thanksgiving. I don't know why he's sore--we were upfront about the sodas, and only poured small tastes for everybody and besides, it's a talking point to this day. But I told him that if he wants to start a vendetta, he'd better watch himself next year!
After the chocolate pizza taste left our mouths and it got later, we went back to the table for dessert. We always have so much food, that even small pieces of each dessert equals a huge amount of sugar. Nobody was hungry for dinner later on. Then it was time for Robin's second nap, so the three of us took off. A little bit later, my parents and the Cochrans came over to our house and played some Beatles Rockband. Robin had awakend by that point, so Mom fed him some dinner and played with him. A fun time was had by all (despite the pizza.)
