Done and DONE!

Can you hear it? Listen VERY carefully...that my friends is the sound of 50,000 words bowing down before me in defeat. I did it. I DID IT!!!!! 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo! Excuse me a moment while I celebrate! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! Wow. I really did not think I would get it done, but I did and I look forward to a fancy dinner that I do not have to pay for. Hee hee hee!
However, now comes the hard part: Editing the dang thing and actually finding the self-control to sit down and finish it without a deadline looming.
That will come, but not today. Today is a time to look back at (what I might argue as) the best Thanksgiving ever!
We celebrated Thanksgiving up at the farm in Idaho with TONS of amazing family and friends. Everything was perfect.

Here's the aftermath of the big dinner:

(Yes, that is Father ASLEEP on the floor after dinner. He fried us two AMAZING Cajun turkeys. Sadly the leftovers disappeared soon after.)

Once the food had settled we carried on the traditional Turkey Shoot.
It's quite a simple concept. Draw/paint a turkey on a sturdy piece of cardboard, (Many thanks to Nick for the amazing artwork!), have one brave soul run around the yard, arm everyone with paintball guns and have at it!

Even Grandma got into the Thanksgiving spirit!

The Absolute BEST part of the day was when someone's children decided to take revenge and cross the safety line while shooting their guns! The paintballs went right THROUGH the cardboard! HA HA HA! Everyone was falling on the lawn laughing! We are such a nice family! (And if you listen closely you can hear the "OW!")


Another highlight of this fabulous time together was the Just Dance party with all the cousins.
Meg tore this dance up!


And Greg was a BEAST!


Of course there were many MANY leftovers

And everyone helped decorate Grandma's awesome BYU tree

Don't forget about football!

AND shooting for REAL! (no turkeys involved this time. I ALMOST hit the exact middle of the target. A complete accident of course, but still, pretty dang cool!)

And that's what happened over Thanksgiving.
