Thanksgiving Day


004, originally uploaded by megan bauer.

Thanksgiving Day actually started w/ Thanksgiving Eve. The Hornsey family invited us and a few other friends over to their house on Thanksgiving Eve for happy hour...which they host every few weeks. Charlie Hornsey is the assistant brewmaster at AB, and they are from Alton, Illinois. We met them 3 years ago when Owen and their daughter, Addison, both joined CNY United soccer at the same time. Since then, our worlds have crossed paths often. So - Thanksgiving Eve at the Hornsey's - we were there chatting and hanging out from oh...about 430 - 800. Then, we went home, put the kids to bed, and the phone rings. Are you guessing what happened next? It's Charlie - telling Eddie he'll be there in a half hour to pick him up, so they can go out. To make a long story short - at midnight, Michelle (Charlie's wife) called them and went to bail them out of the bar.

So...Henry woke up Eddie at 545 that AM, and he spent the rest of the day puking. COULD. HAVE. KILLED. HIM.

On Thanksgiving Day, we went back to the Hornsey's. This photo is Eddie and Charlie asleep on the couch. In their defense, they didn't spend all day on the couch. They pepped up after awhile (Eddie probably knew his life was hanging by a very small thread).

Despite all this, we had a super great day w/ the Hornsey family. We hung out all day (literally...9 hours worth). Talking, chatting, doing karaoke. We were sad that we couldn't spend the day w/ family. But, this was a pretty close second.
