So this year we were privileged to be part of 3 Thanksgiving dinners.
1st was with our dear friend (and now adopted family member) Eli.
She has been tutoring us in ASL, and we have all become really good friends! She was going in for surgery the week of thanksgiving, so she invited us over for a Pre-Thanksgiving dinner. It was very pleasant!
Eli is such a wonderful lady! She is one of those people who seem to radiate sunshine! Whenever we are around her we always feel cheerful, even if we arrived in bad moods, we leave feeling Wonderful!


Our next dinner was on Thanksgiving with Marks family at his sister, Lori’s, house.
I am always amazed with something Lori can do!
This woman has always been able to take a LARGE amount of stuff and fit it into a REALLY small place!
I think this must be her “Super-Power”!
For example: They now have 5 little girls, and they are living in a 1 bedroom apartment!
I dont know ANYONE else who could pull that off! NOT ONLY can they fit, but it doesn’t even feel cramped!!!!! She does this type of “magic” in many areas of her life! Whenever they move, or travel, if she packs, she can make things fit…. kind of like the wizard on “The Sword in the Stone”.

So, the reason I bring this up is we were able to fit about 40 people into her 1 bedroom home for Thanksgiving!!!! They fit in 3 long tables, and one small one. And I have NO IDEA how it worked, but it did!!! And it was great to have all the family there!
Kudos Lori and Matthew for hosting Thanksgiving at your place!

Then the day after Thanksgiving we had a dinner at my parents house. (Holy Freekin-Food batman)
My parents house is a good size, and has always worked. But our families seem to be growing slowly, and we are starting to just barely squeeze all of us there for dinner! All 13 of us!
(Thats a huge difference in comparison to the Barber side of things!)

Its amazing how the whole table seems to overflow with amazing food, and EVERY TIME we always end up eating WAY more then normal, and regret it for the next hour or so.
Why do we do that to ourselves?
We’re Nuts! Thats why!

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgivings!
Hope you all survive the RUSH to get ready for Christmas.
