merry turkey!
I hope everyone had a delicious and filling thanksgiving and that no one ate themselves into a coma (which I came close to, as I do every year).
Last night my Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins got in. I have a fairly small house, and it barely holds 5 (I have my own room, my parents share, and my brothers share). With the addition of my grandparents, the cousins, and the aunt and uncle, our inhabitant amount more than doubled. I shared my room with my cousin Jill, my grandparents got my brothers' room, my aunt and uncle slept on the couch, my parents kept their own room, and Mitchell, Robbie, and my cousin Greg slept outside in a tent. We have another fold out couch in the computer room (where I am now, how about that?) but it's really tiny and could barely hold 2, so they decided it would be fun to sleep outside. It was cold, but with an extension cord they were able to get t.v. and video games out there. I felt bad for Jill though because I sleep with the room really cold, and I was hogging all the covers. At one point I had rolled myself a nice cocoon, and she was tugging at the covers to try and get some for herself. They gave way a little, but I was wrapped up in them too tightly. I woke up a little bit later and gave her one of the blankets I had on the bed, and this morning she said she didn't know that there was another sheet on my bed (that she hadn't used), so I didn't feel TOO bad.
Wasn't that an unnecessary long explanation of where everyone slept last night? Yes. But this morning Brittany, Christine, and I went to Zac's house to wake up him! I shook him violently and he didn't look too happy (although we knew of course he was thrilled to see us). And then at the optional warmup at the NSC, we saw Patrick and Kristen and Kevin as well. All the college kids are visiting, hoorah.
Food today was delicious. Everyone in my house was involved in the feast, plus some very distant relatives that just moved here from out of town (my second cousin once removed, and his wife and two kids). I LOVE FOOD.
But now of course I feel very large and very very sleepy.
