STUFFED...

Well, it's Thanksgiving today, and the day is nearly over... the title says it all... We are STUFFED.
It was great (thanks to Michelle & Kelly for kindly hosting the day). Jake & I spent Thanksgiving with the Daltons, the Farrs and the Giordano's... we had a fantastic time. As always, and as is tradition for any good Thanksgiving, there was too much food, too much dessert and we all ate far too many servings of it all. LOL Thanksgiving is one of those occassions where you start the day with the mindset that you will intentionally eat more food than is humanly possible...WHY?... because it's just too darn good not to do that. Thanksgiving most definitely isn't the weight watchers friend. :D

Of course there is plenty left over, so Jake and I will once again be stuck into more turkey, more mashed potatoes, more corn, more stuffing, more gravy, more pudding, more pie and more of whatever else it is we managed to cart home with us.

By the end of today, I think we all had our Thanksgiving bellies on... so Tara and I weren't the only ones looking 'bigger' anymore with our preggy bellies. LOL.

Cybil pointed out what we call, 'the shift'... it's the thing that everyone starts to do at things like Thanksgiving, when you have already eaten far too much, but have a 3rd serving of food in front of you anyway, and although you are turning green just looking at your food, let alone eating it, you kinda stretch your body upwards and sorta shift to the side... as though the last 2 plates of food you just ate will 'shift' to the side, so that you can make room for the next mouthful that you are insistent on fitting in too. LOL... Well, if you looked around the table today, you would notice a few bodies all doing the 'shift' once in a while. LOL... why do we do it to ourselves???

Unfortunately I didn't get any photo's of our great day... but then again, who has time to fiddle with a camera, when you are diligently concentrating on eating yet ANOTHER plate of food???

Well, as we would say in South Africa, "Maagies vol, Oogies toe"... (in other words, my stomach is full, and now its time for bed...lol) The perfect way to end a great day... stuffed on some sleep inducing turkey and a whole lot of delicious side dishes... YUMMY!!!
