Thanksgiving Break

Everyone on campus is so excited for Thanksgiving Break! However, I think this has less to do with Thanksgiving and more to do with the break and a chance to catch up on homework. I am no exception to this. One of my goals to catch up on has been my photography class. I needed groups of 4 and 5 so I threw together my parents, Courtney, cousin Madison, and good friend Will. We had so much fun taking these! Half the time I was laughing so hard I could hardly take the picture! Here is a sampling of the fun:

As fun as it was, I am still not the biggest fan of taking portraits. I think I'll stick with Photoshop :)

I learned this year that my family doesn't like Thanksgiving! Who doesn't like Thanksgiving!? Actuall, I guess it's just the food that they don't like, but that's like 90% of the holiday! Anyway, after I talked them out of doing a potluck or having chicken pillows we decided to have an Iron Chef Thanksgiving Pie Competition. We went all out and recorded all the drama and excitement that went along with it. Here is a little snippet of the action:

We went to the Mills for dinner and they judged our pies. The results? Drum roll please.........

4th   Courtney - Pumpkin Cheesecake
3rd   Mom - Chocolate Pie
2nd   Dad - Ice Cream Pie
1st   ALLISON!!! - Apple Pie

If you can't tell, I am just a little bit pleased with myself  :)

Anyway, Thanksgiving ended up being a lot of fun, and I don't think I'm ready to go back to school again.

Happy Thanksgiving!
