A No Parent Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with the Pentecosts again.....but this time no parents in sight!?! Where ever can they be? Is Mama P hiding under the table? Is Daddy P hiding in the closet? No sight of those crazy people? Just the "Pentecost Kids".

We had our Thanksgiving lunch at our house this year. We woke up to the smell of a delicious turkey baking in the oven. (I woke up a few hours before we got up and stuck the bird in the oven to cook). Everything was pretty much cooked or cooking, so Mark and I took Shanaynay & Bubble out for a walk. The weather was so beautiful....for a moment I forgot I was in Florida. As we walked, there were quite a few gusts of winds that blew the leaves off the trees. Oh so beautiful.

Everyone arrived around 12ish....in came Andrea, a friend of ours, then Jon & Sarah and let us not forget Snoop their Pug, and then in came David & Michele with Chilly their Maltese. The "kids" ahem...dogs played and greeted each other. At times they did things to each other none of us approved of.

After cooking the final dishes we all sat down to give thanks for the bountiful food and each other. The meal was great. Everyone brought something and it tasted delish!

We played a game while we were eating called "Thanksgiving Bingo". You had to fill your card up with the markers (candy) just like in regular bingo, but heres the kicker the phrases on the page had to be said by someone else and that someone else couldn't get credit for it. See picture below.
It was either Jon or Andrea that won the game. It was quite funny!!!

And here we are stuffed!!So....after the delicious Thanksgiving meal, we decided to take a little walk outside and feed carrots to Banner and Texas our horses. Not sure what Snoop and Shanaynay are investigating.
Chilly thought it was his job to put Banner in his place. Chilly began barking and running back and forth standing up to Banner. It was quite hilarious! After a while he calmed down.

A carrot fell and Bubble decided to make a meal of it.

Ahhh...Thanksgiving is over. We wait so long for it to come...it comes then its over. We shop for the perfect food deals and decide what we are serving. We make lists and times on when to cook what....we get up early and put the bird in the oven....and then before you know it, its over. Time to get the extra turkey meat off the bird. Whatever will we do with it? Well David and Michele had dinner leftovers with us and then yesterday Mark and I had leftovers. I think I will freeze some of it. Perhaps turkey soup....turkey casserole. I love to cook so I'm sure to think of something. So you've heard of the "Chicken Dance", but have you heard of the "Turkey Dance"? Courtesy of my crazy husband Mark.......Great job Mark. I'm glad your doing that! Mark.....I saw that!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm sure Bubble is enjoying every drop!
Well this concludes our Thanksgiving Day. We still never found Mama P or Daddy P. But wherever they are....I'm sure they are enjoying themselves and being a blessing to many!! We miss ya'll!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I hope your Thanksgiving was wondermous!
