Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2019

Here's a quick post full of pictures from Thanksgiving and Black Friday!  ❤

Our Thanksgiving dinner was at Justin and Anna's house this year.  (Their staircase reminds us of 9121.)  This collage = My aunts Nancy, Charlene, and Georgia.  My Dad and my Uncle Gus.  Turkey cupcakes decorated by Rach and the Parrish kids!  Jayme being excited to meet her nephew soon.  Al and Hilary. Justin making all the kids laugh! =) And Ree photobombing Jayme and Ashley! =)

It was quite the crowd, even though we were missing a few.  There were 41 people from Dad's side of the family there... along with a few from Anna's family, who were probably overwhelmed by the noise and the number of people from our side!!  

The Mueckes and the Parrish fam

The Texas Mueckes, minus baby Gracie, who was napping. ❤

Myrick fam!

The Peavlers... and now Ingersol and Hites families

Lock and Whitaker families!

Kristin and Frankie and the boys... they put their arms up like that when they're told to "say cheese!" lol  So cute!

Dad and his siblings, minus Havno!

Our Thanksgiving morning was refreshingly calm by comparison.  Just me and Mom and Dad and the dogs.  We had croissant sandwiches for lunch, and Mom and I made corn casserole, veggie bars, and random whipped cream just for us. lol  

Rylee is sick and hurting, so I gave them the bed I'd ordered for the girlfranz, and I'll take the one they ordered their dogs when it comes in a week or two.  Rylee and Reagan seem to like the new bed! =)

I also found out via texting with T-man that Dad qualified for the State Farm Disney World trip next year... get excited!!  Triston is already all over the planning with finding good restaurants and rides and learning the whole FastPass system!

On Friday, I met Kristin and Ashley for lunch and catching up on life at the Norman Olive Garden, then the whole fam came to see Ashley's new house in Norman.  

After that, I drove to Sand Springs for Nancy's game night.  I talked to Teresa for a while as they were all cooking! =)  Then we all made a snack plate... puppy chow, cheese cubes and crackers, sausage balls, pigs in a blanket, veggie bars, chips and queso and bean dip, homemade carrot cake, etc.  YUM!

I was focused on getting everyone to fit in the group picture and forgot to smile, so I fixed it.  Yay for the blue-face stickers! lol

We played 5-Second Rule with the Wilson fam all there... after they left, we played Word-A-Melon.  Then Laura and Melody left, and we played a highly entertaining round of Suspicion! =)  (Chet's expression is because the carrot cake was super heavy. lol)

Wilson family cuteness!

That's all I've got for now.  I'm planning to write a Quotables post tomorrow.  

For now, it's time for pizza and the bedlam game - yay!!  =)  The Miss K had made me this lovely colorbook page as a surprise to ask who I'm rooting for.  I genuinely don't care much, but this was precious, so I told her if she's an OU fan, I'll root for them with her. ;-)  Technically, I'm rooting for both teams and happy with whoever wins.  And I love the intensity of watching with people who DO CARE. lol

Happy Saturday!
