Big Fat Turkey Song

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We alternate years between Greg's family and my family for Thanksgiving and Easter.  This year we spent the day with the Williams.  Of course, it was a day full of food, family and fun.  We ate until our stomachs hurt, played games, and sang songs.  Did I say we sang songs?  Yes.  Yes, I did.  Greg's grandfather made up a song about a turkey, and Greg's dad perfected it, and carried on the tradition of singing it every year with the family.  (They also sit around and sing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve!)  This year, Greg started teaching Andrew the turkey song right after Halloween.  He has it mostly memorized, but still missed a few words.  Next year, he'll have it memorized, I'm sure!



Today Jacob and I are going to tackle his room, weeding out the old and unused stuff to make room for Santa's goodies.  This evening we will walk downtown for the annual Hollidaysburg tree lighting ceremony, and then head back home for hot chocolate and more family time.  Tomorrow, Jacob has a basketball game in the afternoon and then my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are coming over for an old-time jam session in the evening.  Sunday I hope to spend recuperating from all of the weekend festivities and maybe go through our indoor Christmas decorations, because next weekend we are getting our tree!    It certainly has been (and will continue to be) a jam packed weekend, blessed with the love of family and friends - just the way it should be!  I hope yours was just as joyful, and that the holiday season continues to bring warmth and smiles to your hearts as it does to ours.
