Thanksgiving Part 2

Yes, there is a part 2 of Thanksgiving.  Since we weren't able to have all of the family with us on Thursday, we decided to extend the holiday.  It has been the tradition in the past to do lip syncs every Thanksgiving but we decided to switch things up for a couple of years because everyone was getting a little burned out.  This year we decided to just do a night of fun and games.  We all met down at my dad's shop at 5:30 and we played non-stop until 10:30.  Of course, we had delicious food as well!  We provided Winger's sticky fingers and everyone else brought their favorite snack food.  It was fun to munch and visit. The games started with a simple game of Catch Phrase.  It then progressed to a Fruit by the Foot competition to see who could get the whole thing into their mouth first by only using their tongue.  Congrats Brandt!  It was tough competition between you and Derek, but you pulled ahead!  After, we played Thanksgiving baby food musical chairs.  We bought 10 different kinds of baby foods (pears, applesauce,  bananas, mixed berries and bananas, turkey and turkey broth, macaroni with beef and vegetables, ham pineapple and rice, sweet potatoes, sweet peas, and green beans).  We all sat in a circle and started with one person having one jar of baby food.  When the music started we would pass the jar around as quickly as possible.  Whoever was holding the jar when the music stopped had to take a bite.  It was disgusting...and hilarious!  Everyone was good sports.  Most people were able to take a bite without any problems, but we did have one who threw up...it was the turkey and turkey broth.  We then played twister on an inflatable, as well as a little football and ping-pong.  Pretty soon the play revolved into one person being blindfolded and trying to run full speed in a straight line into a standing pad.  You would not believe how hard it is to really run when you can't see!  Every time someone new was blindfolded we would rearrange the pads so that they would have no idea when they would hit.  It was a crack-up!  We ended the night with some Just Dance 2 and Michael Jackson on the Wii.  It was seriously one of the best nights ever...and the best part of it was being together with so many that I love so much!
