Happy (Thanksgiving) UltraFEAST !
If you're thinking that because we are MEGA holiday people that we go nuts over Thanksgiving, well, you're very very wrong. Not that we aren't extremely thankful for all that we are blessed with, but neither of us are really big on Thanksgiving. Our first Thanksgiving together Sarah whipped up all the traditional items and then we just sat and looked at them, then scarfed down the mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. (Carb-aholics Anonymous is calling!) We tried the traditional route because "thats what you're supposed to do". Then we remembered we're adults now and can do ANYTHING we want together, and often we do just that. So Thanksgiving got a new name: UltraFEAST to separate it from "tradition" and on this day of Ultra Feasting we feast upon the greatest goodies known to man and although this changes a bit from year to year it is always full of carbs and calories. Yum! It also includes a new game each year to play throughout the day. The game tradition was a bit harder this year since we've purchased many (MANY) board games throughout the year (Thanx, Petries!) so we went the videogame route and played the new DonkeyKong for the Wii.
Now, you may be asking yourself: "What about your families"? Well, yeah- what about them? Haha. UltraFEAST tradition has always held that we spend Thanksgiving alone together, without either family. Although we're in Colorado we don't attend the dinner at Grandpa Berrymans. They know we love them, and they still love us- goofy traditions at all.
UltraFeast is about 1) Feasting and 2) really being surrounded by what we are most thankful for: EACH OTHER and that we are TOGETHER. Forever.
