I spent this Thanksgiving at Kelly & Jeff’s with my Aunt Sue. This is the second year we’ve all gotten together in Virginia to celebrate. Family, turkey, football, and games: these are a few of my favorite things.

    boy your packers really sucked that one up! (feel free to insult the giants at will.)
