A VERY Hardy Thanksgiving...

This year...Goof Ball #1 (Rich) and Goof Ball #2 (Stacie) decided to pack up and head south for Turkey day...not only to see Rich's Sister and Family, but to get away from what was to be "Apple Cup 2011" (i.e. Crapple Cup 2011). Turns out..it was a much more action packed Apple Cup than either of us could have expected...well, at least the 72 hours following the game were! A shout out to the Dawgs for their 3rd consecutive win against the Cougs...and a shout out to the Cougs for securing a future with the Pac-12 and hiring the PIRATE of the Palouse!

Our little journey south started on Turkey Day morning...with both of us sick as DOGS! I'm sure everyone on our flights are thankful that we were on there so they could get sick for their holiday too!

And we are off!!!

Touch Down in Fresno...via SLC (don't ask...they were free tickets)!

A little warning...the week with Becky, Jason, Ty, Gabie and Sammi was AWESOME...but there were not many pictures taken. Lots of laughing, lounging and just enjoying a little down time.

Ty helping Jason in the kitchen with the GI-NORM-OUS Turkey!

Look at that BEAST...the boys were all smiles when it came to carving up that!

Jason working away...while we all drool and wait for the delicious-ness that is THANKSGIVING dinner!

A little shot of the girls...Brittney, Reshmi, Sammi and Gabie...

Becky working away on the mashed potatoes...while I just take pictures, chat and drink wine! How lucky am I!

Thanksgiving Dinner was amazing...but then it was time for BLACK Friday! Our Black Friday got to be a little more exciting since Tyson had a playoff game and was the starting center! After the game, we found out that not only did his team get GAME of the WEEK, but Ty also got Offensive Player of the week! So great that Rich and I were able to be there to see it!

A little shot of us at the game! Go Cougars (Clovis Cougars, that is)!

Saturday...Gabie, Ty, Sammi, Rich and I headed to Old Town Clovis to have a little lunch and support Small Business Saturday and do a little shopping!

Of course, the week would not be complete without a picture of Gabie 2.0!

I can't believe how fast our week in Cali went...and what a blast it was. Of course, I was a little homesick that we missed out on the Boness Thanksgiving and Meyer Christmas Tree cutting that normally takes place that weekend...but this year, we spread our love around so that all the family was able to have a special turkey day! Special Shout out to M&D who made sure our little Mr. Waggles was taken care of, loved and even able to sleep in a bed while his parents were off traveling!

Can't believe it's December and almost time for CHRISTMAS!!!!
