This past weekend was awesome! It was Thanksgiving break and my family and I went to my Tia Lupe's house for Thanksgiving lunch. I say lunch cause she has the get together at 1pm 0.o fyi, in my family, there's never a normal holiday.
For starters, we eat outisde in the backyard and have all the food set-up on three conjoined tables, buffet style. There are about 2 turkeys out, and one more in the oven for the entire family to chop up and take home at the end of the day LOL, 3 different types of stuffing, a ham, 3 pots of mashed potatoes that 3 different aunts made, beans, rice, basically food that could feed a small village in Africa. Getting a mental picture yet? it's a lot. Also, we don't have the normal "cutting of the bird" in our family, nor a official grace. You arrive and there are already people eating, and you pretty much serve yourself lol. I'm making it sound difficult but when you're as used to it as I am, it's systematical ahaha.
Everything is delish though! I had one plate and was already getting stuffed. Kind of a bummer cause I knew I at least wanted seconds!
My sisters, cousin Carla and her beau Ruben, and I, (aka "the kids" of the family) had a good time seeing each other again and laughed a lot for either no reason (most likely the case lol) or at Ruben's efforts to meet the whole family/amazement toward all the food everyone brought haha. Watching Carla trying to fist-fight a bumble bee for her pumpkin pie was also priceless. She was virtually swinging at nothing lol! but apparently no one gets in the way of Carla and dessert.
Thanksgiving was great and it was nice seeing the whole family together. The weather was also great and everyone was pretty much ready to pass out afterwards! heavy eyes..heavy everything. :p
I hope you all had a great holiday. :)
