A Thanksgiving Tale.

Well, for those of you who don't know, I come from a very large, very loud family. Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays, because that's where we all get to see each other. And not just for that one day, oh no no no. Thanksgiving lasts 2-4 days, or until we start tearing each other's heads off. Just kidding. Kinda. :) Anyway, in our family, Thursday is Thanksgiving, and Friday is Lebanese Day, during which we hear stories of the aunts and uncles growing up and Grandma and Grandpa (who are no longer with us) and we eat Lebanese food until it comes out our ears.

This year was a little different because we had a lot of young people who aren't related to us. Usually we have some older people, but this year some of the cousins brought friends. Good times. We played stand-up leapfrog, made a human pyramid 5 stories high, and went for a walk in the woods. We spent Thursday night at Chris and Melissa's, and the next night at Courtney and my house.


Me and my sissy. She's always a good time.


Mason and Nick playing some Middle Eastern game. I don't remember what it was called, but it was fun!
