Turkey, Pie, and Accidents. . .

So the turkey was DELICIOUS! We had such a fun day here in Alabama celebrating Thanksgiving with the whole Oborn clan. This was Kaitlyn’s VERY FIRST Thanksgiving…and she slept through the whole dinner. Oh well! There was one little glitch in the day. Thanksgiving morning was, of course, kicked off with a rousing game of Turkey Bowl football. Brian was the star running back. In a moment of true would-be-glory Brian reaches for a pass and ends up on his back. The next moments Brian doesn’t remember. The on-lookers talk of his skull bouncing as it hit the ground (not a pretty picture). Luckily this was the end of the game because Brian had suffered a concussion. We spent the next couple of hours trying to keep him awake and forcing Tylenol down his throat. He still ate tons of turkey and later tons of pie but his head hurt through the whole day. Poor guy!


Side note: We went to the movies on Thanksgiving and saw Enchanted. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Even Brian, who was SURE this movie would be the death of him, enjoyed it.
