Friendsgiving 2007 Recap
Was one of the best of out of all eight! I had a blast, and I actually got to TALK to everyone this year! I made it a mission to mingle and hang out and not get hung up working and cleaning all night. We had a couple new people this year, friends of friends, all of which turned out to be super cool, of course.
The food was AMAZING. Dammit, we didn't get pictures of the spread this year, but there were two awesome turkeys, one specially made Martha Stewart style by Billy, and the other deep fried (OMG, deep fried turkey, nothing like it!), tons of mashed potatoes, gourmet mac & cheese, excellent green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, various home made pies and candies and cheesecake and a Ghirardelli special white chocolate cake that rocked the house, and Indian and a Russian dish, and all kinds of other stuff I know I'm forgetting right now. It was HUGE. And we didn't even have that many leftovers this year! I think there were 50-60 people through here over the course of the night.
Chris and Beth showed up for the first time in several years, and Chris played guitar while a bunch of us did sing-alongs to Hey there Delilah, the Beatles and some other stuff. Joel and Kristen invited a guy named Shirop who played guitar for us later on in the night. A Russian girl named Anya who we know from other friends came this year, and about 6am we all retired to the Zen room to listen to her play and sing Russian songs, which were so incredibly sad and beautiful sounding. We stayed up WAY too late and had entirely too much fun.
Pictures ala Danyelle, click the image to see them all!
Pictures ala Bebe, click to see them all!
Bebe actually DID get a picture of some of the food. And also, the GINORMOUS line of people through the house to get food.
I love you, all our friends! You guys ROCK! <3<3<3
