Modern Day Thanksgiving


This is definitely one of the most memorable Thanksgiving's ever! My first Thanksgiving at the dunes... It is well known in the Sharp's, Skillman's and George's Families as "Thanksgiving Point."

First, we line up our trailers, like so (see pic below).
We then set up tables for our big Thanksgiving feast!


Without Stacy, we don't know what we would do... WE TRULY APPRECIATE OUR CENTER PIECES!!!! It just wouldn't be the same without the boots! 


We then gather round for our wonderful dinner! We love everyone so much! We have those who love to cook, we have those who love to make fake potatoes (but a delicious ham), we have those who love to go for a Costco run (but supplies the most delicious pies, might I add), and we have those who just don't cook, but pretend to by cooking stove top stuffing. Then we have those who are very elegant and those who like to be red necks and tailgate it....






Then two girlies get bored because it rained nonstop the following day... so we decided to remodel the inside of our trailer with a homemade, 1st grade looking fort. To answer your question... YES!!!! We played board games in our fort, just like we used to when we were in elementary school, flashlight and all!


We both brought our pj's with us (not planned)! I just so happened to play Just Dance on the Wii with mine on! (Oh man!!! Did Ellie get a show or what?!?!?!) 



We don't just suffer when it rains, we stay busy! We have lots of bonding time with everybody! The most memorable 'bonding' time is with Mrs. Stacy!!! I think everyone will agree that Stacy always has something informative; such as, why you DO NOT wear socks with Ugg Boots, etc. Of course, we love spending time with everyone else too!!!!

Lastly, we made it to eat pizza on our way home! This pic does not even give it justice. These pizzas were HUGE! You can kind of get the idea if you see those little fingers up in the corner of the picture, that is a man's hand... look how small his hand looks compared to our pizza! Don't worry, we did not have just one pizza, but TWO PIZZAS & TWO HUGE PLATTERS OF SPUDS!!! Delicious! We ate it all! After all there were about 20 of us to feed!

Overall, we are so grateful to have the parents, family's, and friends that we do. We had an enjoyable time riding! (Yes, we ride while we are there, we don't just sit around! In fact, I feel pretty good about myself right now! I think I did pretty good racing up one of the hills. No offense to anyone else, but I think I beat just about everybody I raced... at least when I was on my quad. In all reality, I'm sure most of them were just trying to be nice and let me win.) But really, we truly did have an enjoyable time! We love our family & friends!!!! So glad we were able to get together for another successful dune trip!

I LOVE this post! You got the whole Thanksgiving adventure blogged perfectly. Even the fact that you stomped us all on the hill climbing. Oh and your stove top was de-lish.

And yes, absolutely NO socks with your Uggs!

Pass another slice of pizza please...
