Turkeys & Gators, Yummy!

Hi everyone! Hope all is well with you and your holiday season is starting off well. Thanksgiving with my family was really fun this year, especially with the new babies! John and I stayed in town because he had to work the day after Turkey Day. But we stayed all day Turkey Day, and spent the night at Jenn & Phil's house so we could spend a few extra hours together. My Mom & Dad came down from P.C. We got to see my Aunt Sherry & Uncle Bernie, along with my cousin Alisa and her family that day, which was nice. That afternoon we all headed over to my Uncle Moe & Aunt Missy's house for a huge feast. They had fried, smoked, and baked turkey! I made an apple-cranberry crumble...very good if I do say so myself. It was nice seeing my grandparents, some of Missy's family, and my Mom's other brother, Uncle Bruce, and his wife, Aunt Sissy, who came all the way from Knoxville! We stuffed ourselves silly, then went back to Jenn's house to play their new Wii and stay up way too late after the babies went to sleep! The next day, alot of the family came over and we had oysters, and a whole other turkey dinner that Jennifer made, yummy!! And of course the family ooohed and ahhed over the babies and played with Dominick.




Here's some cute pics of Meredith and her newest cousin Jude:
Hey! That's my dragon, he's says

Give it back or I'll chew your arm, numnumnumnum

Back off sucka!

So what I'm telling you is this: this is how we fix this economy...

OK. So it was very sad that the Gators lost to Alabama and will not go on to the National Championship game. But we rooted them on all season and got into the Gator spirit, and we'll just have to settle for a bowl game and watch Tim Tebow's last game, sniff sniff. Now for those who say I am wishy-washy when it comes to sticking with my 'Noles...I'll say this: John and I both root for each other's teams, just not when they play each other. I think some people are silly for cheering on Alabama just because they hate the Gators. People, they are a Florida team!! If you live in Florida you should want to cheer for a Florida team!! Don't hate, appreciate. Of course, I'd want to see the Gators lose to Alabama, if and only if I thought that the Noles would have a chance in heck to actually play in the Championship game...but obviously that ain't happening any time soon!! My hatred toward the Gators has slowly faded over the years, but that doesn't mean I can't stay true to my Noles. I've actually been to more UF games than FSU! I have alot of respect for Tim Tebow for his moral character and leadership abilites. I wish him only great things for his future. As for Bobby, I wish him great happiness in retirement and wish I could thank him myself for all the down-home Southern greatness he infused into the Seminole dynasty that once was. Long live Bowden!!



Well, it's now time to get started on preparing for our upcoming open house on Saturday. Then it's onto wrapping gifts and packing for our trip to P.C.!
