Thanksgiving Disaster
It was quiet, too quiet. You could hear every single creak and splatter of water that hit the lodge. Everyone was sleeping, not very well deserved, but needed following the night we had. After six long months of not seeing each other, my extended family and I had stayed up a little too late, sharing stories and laughter. Uncle Matt and Uncle Richard had gone to bed around eleven o’clock, something we should have done as well. Instead, the other sixteen of us stayed put, not turning in until well past two thirty in the morning. After many rounds of hot chocolate and six pizzas devoured, we all finally retreated to our bedrooms. Ten cousins, myself included, went up to the far corner where we always slept. Our uncle Matt
