the highlight reel
By heather | November 29, 2008
It’s nice to visit family, but it’s also nice to come home to your own stuff. And if we’d stayed home I wouldn’t have the following Thanksgiving highlights to share:
Best Moment #1 – On the way up to visit the in-laws, our credit card gets declined. Now you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s because of our lackadaisical financial attitude, but you’d be wrong. It’s because someone made a fake card with our number on it and was doing their Christmas shopping at the toy store and the gas station with a hella lot of liquor store purchases thrown in for good cheer.
Best Moment #2 – Wednesday night, dinner. Alex’s cousin, who had been sick with the flu the night before is eating lasagna. (Why feed lasagna to a 2 year old recent flu victim? Your guess is as good as mine…bygones.) All of a sudden he wails, his head spins around and he pukes – on the table. Excellent.
Best Moment #3 – Thursday -post Thanksgiving food coma, phone rings. My MIL answers, conversation ensues. Then, she says, “Hold on, I’ll ask…”
To the assembled group which includes Brett and I, my sister-in-law, an uncle, and my FIL, “Jane wants to know what a r!m j0b is?”
Apparently not everyone spends thier post-Thanksgiving meal in a food coma.

Wowza on that last one. OK, on all of them actually.
A family that provides good blog fodder is the greatest gift of all, no?

I just laughed out loud so hard…#3 is the best thing ever. Reminds me of Nagy’s wedding and the banana.
