You know it's Thanksgiving when... (a look back)

So obviously once people started showing up at my house, it became rude to log on to update my "You know" list.

So here is a belated update: You know it's Thanksgiving when...

- You're forced to come up with some creative centerpiece, only to be one-upped by your sister who hand-made turkey-shaped candle holders.

- Everyone is ready to eat, but can't, because gram (who happens to have all the pies, AND multiple dishes that need to be re-heated) decided to take an extra long shower and show up one hour late.

- Despite dozens of combined hours of cooking, your son's Thanksgiving dinner consists of one bite of turkey and one Oreo.

- Your father dons your Vera Bradley apron in order to finish washing dishes.

 - Everyone in the family is included in a round of Wii Beatles rockband.

 - The pies are toothpick-labeled with individual names.

- Too much ice cream from doting family = baby running laps in the living room... for 45 minutes.

- Despite the hours, the stress, the anxiousness, the chaos, you look back with a little sigh and say, "Now that was fun."
