the ball family thanksgving


the ball family thanksgiving. a startlingly hilarious scenario indeed.
let's start off with thanksgiving morning. we all were up and about by probably 11 am. as we prepared, we each were assigned to a certain job. sarah started her sauerkraut. aimee, mom and i began prepartion for the pie baking. it started out easily enough, we waited for lauren to get there to start. finally aimee just called her. five minutes later, aimee's back in the kitchen telling mom and i that lauren said she put us in charge of the pies the day before. well, that was the start of our wonderful, traditional, quirky ball family thanksgiving.
of course this didn't go over well with mother dear. we immediatly began recounting how lauren told us we could "start the pies if we wanted to". (and lauren if you're reading this i'm not arguing again, im merely recounting what happened.) so began our deciding that lauren was going to be getting everything we had forgotten. when she finally did arrive, with our goods, we began the pie making. around 4 o clock, aimee and kris set about preparing the turkey for its fry in the Ring of Fire. we began our feast of ham, fried turkey, green bean casserole, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, cranberry sauce, and stuffing around 6:30. later, as lauren and aimee lay passed out on the couch, i reading in the pod by the fire, kris asleep in his room, and sarah asleep in hers, we began the hibernation period, known only as "The Aftermath", seen above. slowly but surely mother came along to ask whether or not we wanted dessert. we all accepted, dazed as we were, and gulped down slices of pie before passing out again. if you didnt find this incredibly funny than screw you, you should have been there.

making other people do things you were supposed to do is the new black.
