The Thanksgiving Aftermath

Well, we made it- I feel like I have gained 10 pounds and while I am on a diet- that isn't very good...LOL... WE had a GREAT Thanksgiving! On the actual day, Jerry had to work, but Logan and I went to mom's and watched the parade- he was clapping when Po(kung fu panda) came on...then came in Jon and JR and then JR would clap and be excited when his favorite characters came on...I complained because all the singers were singing their songs and not a Christmas song( something I remember them doing when I was a little kid) well, when lunch was served Logan had passed out so I actually got to eat! Naw- he fought a nap until he couldn't fight no more and slept for 3 hours! We went home and got Jerry ready for work and then headed back to moms so Logan could eat- and eat he did! I think it was 5 plates of turkey and zipper peas! plus some chocolate cake. Go to next day which is Black Friday- no we didn't shop but I took on the idea of making dinner for everyone at my house- got up and stuck the turkey in the oven, made green bean casserole, mac and cheese, creamed corn, had 2 pies(cookies and cream and pecan) mom made jerrys cornbread stuffing with gravy and I had rolls. It was a good meal! everyone fit at the table and I think the headcount turn up to be 9? We had Jerry, Me and Logan, Granny(jerry) mom and dad, Jake and Emily and Rachel. Most went back for seconds and Jake actually ate some turkey which I think was out of kindness because he HATES turkey! Today we are just relaxing, Logan's napping and Jerry is playing video games- I am recuperating after eating like a fat kid for the past two days....not good when you've been trying to diet. Later we are going to Moms house to watch two MAJOR football games- Alabama/Auburn and Florida Gators (my team) versus the Florida State Team (Jerry's family team!) We shall see!!!!!
