We went to my brother's house in Lindale, Texas to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. As usual, we had a fantastic time with our family and friends. Three years ago, the boys and I began a new tradition called the Turkey Bowl. Following our meal we play a game of touch football. This year we were able to have a few more players and a little more competition. For some reason I always have to defend and be defended by my nephew, Cody. Remember, I am 43 years old and my days of blazing speed and quick acceleration are far in my past. Cody is 21, in shape, a two time all state safety and carries the nickname 'swole' he picked up in high school because of his muscle tone. To say the least, I was skunked all day. Regardless of my wounded pride, we had a tremendous day of fun including a game I could win, "Chubby Bunny." The game involves stuffing a marshmellow in your mouth and then saying, "Chubby Bunny." Each round you add a marshmellow. As you can imagine, the person with the biggest mouth wins. Steven and I were the last two standing, but I prevailed. With Thanksgiving behind us we now begin preparations for Christmas. I hope everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving.
