Thanksgiving anyone?

So what did everyone do for Thanksgiving? Brandon was on call today/tonight so we went and had Thanksgiving Lunch with him at the hospital with another family - the Med Center puts on a free Thanksgiving dinner for anyone who walks in the door, so we took advantage of the oppurtunity of free food and actually, it wasn't as bad as we were expecting and that says a lot coming from the Food Divas. The highlights were when I managed to spill not one, but TWO glasses of apple cider (two separate times) in the buffet line. The cafeteria lady asked if I needed a sippy cup, which Ruby found hilarious.

Tomorrow: (Friday after Thanksgiving) I was given a free 20+ pound turkey from the grocery store (No, it's not EBT, guys. Gone are those days. Weep, weep, sob, sob) so I figured I'd go ahead and throw a party so it would actually get eaten. What started off as getting a few families from the ward together at our house has turned into a full blown ordeal with over 15 families coming over tomorrow. I'm making the turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, 2 pies and drinks and everyone else is bringing a bunch of stuff. It should be a good old crazy time. Brandon is post call that day, so around 5:00 p.m., he'll stumble down the stairs (hopefully remember to put something on besides a G-Ranger-top and scrub bottoms) and literally introdouce himself. I've noticed that people from the ward have started doing air quotes when speaking of him. He's the Hershey Ward's best kept secret. Anyway, snaps for me for attempting to be social. I'd rather be eating and gabbing with all you guys, of course. Oh well. I'll just have to wait approximately 365 days. Boooo.
