Thanksgiving 101

Here you will find instructions on how to and how NOT to do Thanksgiving:
Do:  hold babies as much as possible.
Do NOT: "mirror" a baby crying- especially if it's screaming in their face over and over and over again.

Do: with Uncle Tom, put fake cherries on your ears, and fake grapes on your shoulders and then use "binoculars" to find them.
Do NOT: forget your gloves and hat on your head when you go Black Friday shopping!


Do: make all the cousins lay down by each other for a cousin photo.
Do NOT: take pictures of your mom's be-hind because she will delete it from the camera before anyone else sees.

Do: eat chips that are placed between a baby's toes.
Do NOT: eat a meal of tamales and cheese dip the night before you throw up countless times.

Do:  make sure the Canada family has ALL of the presents in their van BEFORE leaving- especially when you draw three out of the five of their names for Christmas!
Do NOT: try to take back a movie you got them to Kohl's when it really belongs at Target.
If you can follow these tips, you'll have a great Thanksgiving filled with lots of laughter, coldless hands and ears, and endless hours of baby holding.  :)

Sounds like a great Thanksgiving! You're the only person I know who can make travelling and the flu sound like so much fun.
