Cash in a shoebox.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. This was our day:

Mom and I looking fabulous in our kitchen.

Family outside next to our urban fire pit.

Cousins:

Aunt Darlene getting ready for battle:

Uncle Mike carving the bird, hopeful doggies never giving up:

My little cousin came up to me with this Barbie. Seems she was less than perfect, due to a hole chewed in her head by a formerly living dog of mine. She was deemed unacceptable to to live in the Barbie bin. 

 She found other things to do.

Me, Aunt Cindi and Grandma

Aunt Nancye and her daughter, Tara

 Uncle Johnny!

And, of course, dessert:

I can now focus on going nuts for the entire month of December. I'm happy to celebrate the holidays, and in fact, was nearly ecstatic to have my family over yesterday. 

I went out to only one store this morning for shopping, and it was because they were giving out 100 scratch cards that gave you the chance to win $10,000. A pretty good reason to get out of bed after a Nyquil night. This scratchy throat and sneezing ain't going to be the reason I don't win $10,000! I didn't win because that was not the prize on my scratcher. Still, I am up and at them. Now, to start saving up for a better camera!
