Mister Potato Head...

This lovely young lady is Rachel.

Rachel is my oldest daughters best friend.

She joined us for Thanksgiving this year since her family lives too far away for her to go home for the short holiday... and because we wouldn't have let her miss out on our crazy holiday.

She is a blessing!

When it was her turn to read her, "I am thankful for you because..." card the waterworks began...

She cried, I cried, Grandma cried... the others were holding back their tears.

She managed to get through the reading of her card... In part, because the little man...

decided to lighten the mood!

Suddenly, every 8.6 seconds, we started hearing, "Thankyou Mister Potato Head"...

We tried to shush him...

and then it would come again...

Thankyou Mister Potato Head...

Thank you mister potato head...

I'm a funny boy...  Thank you Mister Potato head.

Thank you mister potato head...

What a goof...

Thanks for lightening the mood, son...

 I love you!
