Thanksgiving Fun and Glory

Thanksgiving was fun, and if I weren't killing time at work right now I'd post some pictures of our Wii Tennis Tournament!! Awesome! I came in second place because I was skooled by a seven-year-old boy. :) Yup.
Anyway, Mack and Shaan hosted the festivities (thanks guys!) and the Bartschi Family Roll Call: (minus Carolee, Sharron and Bryant) was together, including Zac's Fiance Janice. Happy to have you. After dinner, we watched football and played cards while the kids gorged themselves on video games and chips and soda. Yes, all good parenting eating habits flew out the window when I realized, "Stressful or relaxing?" You decided. Plus, Shaan made the most dilectable Sweet Potato Casserole with a crunchy-sweet pecan topping. Eliza took one bite and exclaimed to everyone present, "I LOVE SWEET POTATOES!" Yesss! Let's see what else I can call a 'sweet potato.' :)
The highlight of the evening? Grandma B agreeing to join the Wii Tennis Tourney, and even making Harrison play all three matches! Go Grandma!
Ok, so the real highlight of the evening? Everyone falling asleep in the car on the way home. 30 minutes of nothing but driving and the Christmas music on the radio. Lovely.
Bedtime? That's a post for another time, but it could've been worse.
Most Thankful Blessing of the Year? D not in the hospital and his scan on 19 Nov was clean. Two years to go. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and helpfulness this past year!
Pics to come....

You can leave me out of the pics... and don't even think of posting them on facebook.

Sounds like lots of fun. Is it funny to you that now WE are the one's throwing and hosting holiday celebrations. When did we become the grown-ups?
