Thanksgiving 2006

My big brothers braved an eight hour drive in Dan's Mazda Miata to spend Thanksgiving in my new house. We had a great time!

When we weren't busy cooking, the guys fixed the lights on my new artificial Christmas tree.

My first Thanksgiving dinner turned out very well. We're not gonna talk about the pie.

Rumor has it my brothers were stopped by a herd of cows and some nice policemen on the way home. No speeding ticket, though. Are cows on the road less hazardous than snow and ice when driving a Miata in the winter?

Oh. And - we watched eleven hours of "Firefly." If you don't know what that is, I'm not gonna tell you. Turns out I'm a SciFi geek just like my brothers the engineers. Great. Like THAT'S gonna land me a boyfriend anytime soon!

Tuggles just hunkered down and enjoyed the fun. Not a bad deal - lots of ear-rubs and soft-hearted uncles who don't know the "Don't Feed the Dog at the Table" rule! Awwww, cuuuute. Tugs' first Turkey!
