Happy Thanksgiving!

We got home and I started to load pictures to my computer which is on the fritz. So now after two hours, here are the pictures from our Turkey Day. XOXO

Ok, a little bit longer than 2 hours because I had an attack. Ever since my auto accident I have what the doctors say is extreme back spasims which resonate to my sturnim and make me vomit uncontrollably. They bring me to my knees and there is nothing I can do but wait it out. I think I am going to have to get a second opinion because none of the doctors have actually looked at my back. I don't mean to tell them how to do there job, but I can't function or sometimes breathe while these are happening and sometimes they last several hours. This has been going on for almost 3 months now. I will hopefully start physical theropy soon, but in the meantime I have to suffer. Cross your fingers for this to get better and go away!

Ok, now that I have vented about doctors...here are the pictures that everyone was waiting for. Love and Sugars to All! We miss you all and wish we could be there to celebrate FAMILY.

Ella tuckered out after a long first Turkey Day.
Mrs. Stovall and Ella
Notice the outfit, not her Turkey Day outfit! She had an "accident" on her outfit and we had to change her into the christmas picture outfit we packed for her. LOL! At least we had a backup!

Daddy and Ella thinking hard while playing Cranium. We had such a blast!

Stovall and Ella just chillin.

The Whole Gang.

Josh and Brooks carving the char-ok, BURNT turkey. LOL! It was sooooo moist on the inside! The juciest turkey we have ever had! Deepfried to "almost" perfection.

The turkey when it came out of the frier. We think it burnt because of all the juices that were injected, but I guess we will never know! We ate all of the evidence! :)

The Girls

Momma and Ella Ann
