Thanksgiving - Normal Crazy

The last week was really crazy. Everyone was to meet at my brothers for dinner. We all have the things we always bring. Mine is the traditional rolls, cheesy twice baked potatoes and homemade applesauce. I stated cooking the weekend before. I finished the second batch of rolls early Thursday morning. The potatoes were made at Rick's. All together there were 21 of us. I think that's a new record. It was nice having Jim's Mom there. I hope my crazy family didn't scare the crap out of her. The teenagers are bringing their girlfriend/boyfriends. Scary how old that makes you feel. Arion spent more of his time at his Dad's. That was a little frustrating. I guess I'm the safe one. He knows I will always be there for him. Dad, well he has issues and Arion's security with him needs reassurance on a regular basis.

One bright point was that I got to spend some time with my good friend Shannon. She came up and spend Wednesday night and Saturday night with us. We would have gone shopping on Friday, but Danny, her youngest found someones pills and took one. Shannon and her spent the next 8-10 hours at the hospital. That was fun. Danny is fine now. Here are some pictures of some of the fun. Jim and I bought a new camera on Saturday. Yeah, I know. It's about time.
