Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving we spent 3 days in Tucson. The entire Sykes family attended.

Thursday - Ate a terrific dinner from Marie Calendars. Sunshine did all the preparations and made the pie and sweet potatoes. Ginger made some stuffing and I made broccoli salad. We took all 5 dogs on a walk. Then we spent the rest of the evening playing Rock Band, Funglish and Wits adn Wagers.

Friday - Went to Target. Ate left overs. Went to the park. Napped. Played Rock Band, Scrabble, and Pictionary.

Saturday - Rented a 15 passenger van. Went on a trip to the Chiricahua National Monument and did the Echo Canyon Hike. It was windy and cold. But a beautiful hike. Ate dinner at Olive Garden. Played Rock Band and Carcasonne.

It was 3 days of complete Chaos. There were 15 people sleeping in a 3 bedroom house and 5 dogs. There were multiple melt downs and fights among children and adults. I think it was one of the best Thanksgivings yet!

Memorable Moments

  • Smiley face balloons
  • AFI Girls Not Grey

Sounds like our Thanksgiving with all those people in the same house! We had 8 kids 4 and under...so not much sleep, but it was fun anyways!
