Thanksgiving, the short version

We had a good Thanksgiving. It was just the immediate family: Superman and me, Light, Twitch, Sproing and Diva. C and S spent the day with friends. 

Light did most of the cooking. Superman and I did a good bit, too. It was crowded but friendly in the kitchen today. Too hot at times, but everyone had a generally pleasant attitude. 

We didn't dine until after 7:00. Light had us scheduled to eat earlier than that, but things took longer than expected, as they always do (in my experience, anyway).

Dinner itself was 5/6ths pleasant. The other 6th was Sproing, who was sporting his ODD 'tude. It was trying, but we somehow survived. 

This is the abstract, the severly abreviated version for those of you with more interesting things to do with your time than read the ramblings of a tired old mother. To get more of the flavor of our family Thanksgiving, continue reading about it in the following post.

Oh well how sweet of Light to cook...too bad about Sproing and his attitude but I bet the whole day you had to be thankful for what a lovely family you have.

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Dolores.

Honey, sounds like a typical family to me, some struggles for sure, but a lot of love. Happy to see you had some pecan pie, also.

if it were not for family I would be out of a job.

I hope your holiday season is a good one - and if you are really good perhaps santa will bring you a new washer machine?

I'm glad it was at least 5/6 fun :)
