1 Hilarious Holiday




So about this time last month I told you to keep an eye out for what was soon to be one hilarious holiday with the Hennessey family. Check out my original post here. It's one thing when you can create a "good" idea for a group of people, it's another when that group of people totally embrace the idea without judgement or any type of refusal......and that group happened to be family of all people. The one group that can criticize and raise hell without you being able to get rid of them.

The Hennessey and Barham family always have a good time when put together, however this year was more comical than the rest. I can honestly say that without a doubt this year was the craziest but to our surprise had the least amount of "issues" arise....well except for Lindsay ruining an attempt at both the broccoli casserole AND the stuffing (sorry Lindz). Maybe its our age increasing and we are all maturing, leaving stupid family feuds behind, or perhaps it was so chaotic we didn't have time to argue (3 dogs - 2 of which were puppies, 1 baby who just learned to crawl, my divorced parents who thankfully are friends, 4 growing families, 1 non-related guest, and costumes galore). Either way we managed to get through the week with little to no arguments.


As you can see everyone went all out. Even more so with some of the names. We were graced with the presence of Indians Pocahiney, Chief Dungfromhorse, Chief Twig-n-berries, and Pilgrims Christopher Jones, May Flower, Francis Bradford, to name a few. To the left you will see our precious turkey - Stinkybutt McGobbleGobble. Otis, Olive, and Harper (the crazy dogs) loved all the commotion. To think that this all stemmed from my Aunt Penny asking me how we could "spice" up this years holiday blows my mind. I can't wait to see how we top it next year. Love this crazy family of mine! Anyone and everyone is welcome to join.... Check out facebook for more pictures of the 'event'.

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. On another note, at my hometown Christmas parade a man dressed as Frosty the Snowman recently got arrested.....read this article. Ridiculously humorous.
