Every Thanksgiving in every family there is a little drama.
This year we headed down to southern California and went for a trifecta of events: A memorial for a long-lost loved one, a family reunion, and my birthday. Oh yeah, and Thanksgiving. So I guess it’s not a trifecta, what is it if its four events a quadecta?
As it turned out, as much as several of us (me, my Mom & Sis) were worried it would go wrong in one way or another, but, it was the best holiday ever. A great group of people showed up for the reunion, the memorial was heartfelt and heart warming, food was plentiful (8 pies for goodness sake) and the best ever , and I have to say if you’re just having a random year birthday (you know not a milestone) do it during a family reunion, even I got enough attention. Not to mention cake! Great cake!
But……….even during the best holidays, you can always count on a few casualties (not talking human casualties). Here are ours:
A dead lizard in the driveway – not sure what happened to the poor guy. Wrong place, wrong time.
And a chocolate pie that just couldn’t take the over crowding in the fridge and jumped to its death, poor pie. My sister was really upset; she hadn’t had any chocolate pie yet.
So those are this year’s casualties; I hope everybody and their families had a wonderful holiday!

Jumping over from My Crazy Beautiful Life blog link party. Love that a mom and daughter write this together! My fifteen year old just things my blogging is dumb. 😦
I can’t understand why a chocolate pie would jump to its death like that. Pie suicide is never good! Someone needs to make your sister another pie so she can have some!

Jenny you are too funny, love your blog by the way. You’re daughter will probably come around to your way of blogging (thinking) when she gets just a bit older.
I did make my sister another pie and we managed to eat it before anything weird could happen, except maybe a little heartburn :0)
