We gathered at the house to settle in and then went over to Matt's so the Christgaus, the Moores, the Taylor and the Babs could meet, drink and mingle.
After the rents left we hit the Old Fashioned, one of my fav Wisconsin bars, for some local beers and local martinis.The next day was Thanksgiving!!! We were awoken in the middle of the night (10am) by the sounds of parents coming over to start the festivities.
Sean started the TWO turkeys
Matt drank too much
Mali's dad sneakily watched the Packers game while pretending to play cards.
Sean's dad stole all my money in poker.
The dogs went crazy
And I began cooking my surprise traditional southern famous meal. What did I make????Why, pig's tails and pig's feet of course! I don't know why anyone didn't want to eat them...
Sean made a joke that he was going to eat a "Tater Tot"
But Tater didn't think it was very funny
Finally we ate.
The next day I hit the early sales with the Christgaus, but the lines were too long so I didn't end up buying anything. Sean and Tater tried to recover from all the food/booze from the day before.
Friday night I got to be a special guest in the Monkey Business Institute Improv Show!! It was awesome and so much fun. Before the show, Mali and I exchanged gifts! I got so many socks!!!
On Saturday I did some X-mas shopping with my cultured New York friend Mickey. He is so sophisticated he wears a fancy pizza eating bib.
Mickey and Lucy didn't get along very well.
Later we just took lots of embarassing pictures of Lucy.*
I had such a fantastic weekend! It was great seeing all my good mid-western friends again and their families (and their dogs). Miss you guys! :)*I would like to apologize to Lucy for exploiting her adorableness, I just couldn't help it.
