Pre-Thanksgivig

Since the kids are with my ex on Thanksgiving and Jessica and Matthew are spending Thanksgiving with Matthew's family... we had Thanksgiving on Wednesday. We had a blast!

Before company came over Michael and Mandi colored while Ellie played on Mandi's Iphone.

We had 15 people over which is a good number for us. It was Me and the kids, Grandma, Aunt Leslie, Mom and Joe, Mandi and Michael, Jessica and Matthew, and Uncle Henry, Aunt Kathy, Ruben, and Eileen.

Eileen is such a teenager with her zebra cover for her phone and "texting 2000 message a day"! Holy toledo batman!!!

After dinner Michael broke out Rockband 2 and we all played.

The boys setting up and picking out a song


Marvelous Matthew on the drums


Magnificent Michael on guitar


Hot Fingers Hayden on bass


Hayden bowed out after a tough song and Eye of the Tiger Eileen was his replacement


Mom and Aunt Leslie were so moved by the music they had to hug each other


Ellie was in awe of the band's brilliant performance

There was a break and switching of band members. I call this group The Babies because they are the younguns of the bunch. ;-)

Jamming Jessica on bass


Eye of the Tiger Eileen moved to drums


Radical Ruben was on guitar




Mandi was enjoying the ambiance of the evening

Oh, I can't forget the most important band member of the night


The crazy chick dancing in the front row! Hahaha!

All three of us girls (Me, Jessica, and Mandi) played a 3 song set and of course we rocked. With all the good food, good company, and playing we were tuckered out. We are going to bed and get ready for the Turkey Trot in the morning. I am hoping that it stays above freezing.
