It was Gibson Thanksgiving dinner today. All the Gibson's, my aunt & cousin, & our good friend Bill all came out to the farm for a wonderful day of good food and great company! We had loads of fun playing with the chickens, skeet shooting, I managed to supersonically cook a 25 lb turkey in 3.5 hours, kick the can, electrocution, blow dart fun, talk of misplaced eyebrows growing 1 1/2 inches overnight (sorry mom), and Jeff managed to protect most of his dinner from Auntie Neen's thieving hands.
I love my chickens and guineas!! I'm sure I'll have more to say about them at a later date, but one of todays highlights included putting the chickens to sleep. Grandpa taught us how to do this a few years ago and it's always great fun!

The kids had lots of fun stair sledding - with only a few minor injuries (you know, the funny kind).

This hurt as bad as it looks (but it made for a great picture!!)

 |
| Grandma trying the same 'sneaky' trick. I've gotta be honest - it wasn't that hard to figure it out, Grandma! |
The kids each had a turn in Grandpa & KA's Sheet Ride (until they finally tuckered out - Grandpa and Uncle I mean, not the kids).
 |
The looks Grandpa & KA's faces cracks me up. I think we're going to be needing some Robaxacet.

To top off the evening, AD managed to prove his mighty hunting skills again and blow dart a mouse in the chicken coop! Good on ya!!! Anyone up for a midnight snack?
