Next year will be a plan-ahead-and-stay-longer year. Merritt was sweet. Here's the only evidence of attendance...as it should be:

The Niece!: (scans the room for cousin god) "Bennett!" (points at him and scampers in his direction as fast as she can avoid eye contact with said Auntie)

Turkey Liver!
