And Then There Were...Maggots?

I hosted Thanksgiving for 10 adults and 15 kids. Overall, quite fun, but there were definite pros and cons...
Pro: Getting to use my dining room table as the adult table with my china and fancy silverware. And putting a chocolate turkey on everyone's plate. And having my neighbor do the centerpieces for me because I'm not good at stuff like that.

Con: Having to borrow chairs from everyone and their mother because I have no dining room chairs.
Pro: Finding cute acorn things from the neighbor's tree to put at the bottom of my hurricanes (acorns not pictured).

Con: Discovering the acorns host maggots when I went to dispose of them after Thanksgiving.
Pro: Going in on bounce house rentals with the other families we shared the holiday with to occupy the kids so the adults could enjoy a nice sit-down meal.

Cons: One of the Dad's nearly breaking his neck doing a back flip inside, and having our neighbor ER doctor have to leave his Thanksgiving dinner to come and take a look at him, then having him refuse to go get a CAT scan because he was worried about the cost. Oh yeah, and Avery dumping a bucket of sand inside one of them an hour before they are supposed to get picked up and me having to clean it to avoid a charge.

Overall, we had a great holiday and I'm still somewhat amazed I pulled the whole thing off--especially the turkey, whose pop-up timer I couldn't locate to tell if it was done or not.
