November 25, 2010 (Thanksgiving)

Hey world--this is my second Thanksgiving on this earth--they were very different.  Last year Mamaw cooked for Reggie and family--this year Poppy said we'll take whoever shows up to Ryan's for turkey.  She got on the phone and called everybody she knows who lost a loved one this past year and wished them happiness and checked to make sure they wouldn't be ALONE.

Then Deb came and brought Tess with her.  Tess is kinda chubby and likes to hog Mamaw's attention too.  She kinda intimidates me just a little and I don't know why.  We managed to get along pretty well though until just before Hayleigh walked in the door.  Tess growled at me; and she had to go to her bed for "timeout."

Dinner was lovely and Deb had to change clothes and go to work but when she got off, she came back to our house and they plotted a shopping Black Friday thing. Mamaw told em just to go ahead--she didn't want to fight the crowds and she didn't need anything either.

We went to bed so we don't know what time they got out and around. I just hope they don't spend all of their money in one place...
