Running Into Hamilton

Thanksgiving -part 55

We eat some cookies and hang out in the living room and have fun as a family.

After we've all filled up on sweets and watched tv, we all go to bed. Anthony let's Riley sleep on the pull-out bed in case i wake up or have a nightmare. I put soft, black and white striped sheets on the pull out bed and give Riley a warm, tan comforter. We both fall asleep relatively quickly, staying asleep all night.

I wake up to my alarm at 7:30,  rolling out of bed. I put on a nice tan sweater, leggings, and nice boot socks. The sweater is big on me, so im really comfortable even though I look nice. I hop over to my vanity, seeing Riley groggily waking up in the mirror. I smile at him, slingshotting a hairtie at him. "Morning. How did you sleep through my alarm?" I ask as he catches the hairtie.

"I didn't. I just didn't get up." He says, walking over to his duffel bag. He pulls out nice khakis and a tan polo shirt that matches my sweater. We totally didn't plan this at all. I pull out my foundation and powder from my cosmetic bag, then lightly apply it to my face. I put on the rest of my makeup with Riley sitting on the bed behind me, as we chat. I add my last flinch of eyeliner and swipe of lipstick, when sit on the bed across from Riley.

We both walk into the living room around 8:30, seeing Jazz ready on the couch. "Ant is barely ready, as usual. Give him like, 15 minutes and a sip of coffee, he'll be fine. If only Javi was here, he could make ant some cafecito." She says, laughing. Riley and i nod and chuckle. I grab a protein bar for each of us, since we're all going to stuffourselves later.

Anthony emerges in khakis and a blue plaid shirt with brown dress shoes. He matches jazzys blue flannel, and she's wearing black jeans with it. I slide on my boots and we walk out to the car. We pile the food in the back as I hop in the back with Riley and play my Broadway soundtrack from my phone. We park at Lins apartment and head up the elevator. We knock on the door and Lin opens it, bouncing Sebastian on his hip. He hugs each of us, one by one, then we each walk in and hug Vanessa, Leslie, Nic, and Sebasitian.

Riley and i walk with Sebastian over to his train set, and we play with him for a while until the food is ready. It's around 12, and the food is open to eat all day. I get mashed potatoes, Turkey, rice and Mac and cheese. Riley and I sit on the floor next to each other, watching tv with everyone else. Eventually, as expected, we have a Hamilton sing along. I play people from Eliza to James Reynolds, just kinda filling in the blanks.

Vanessa is just laughing at us all looking like fools, belting lyrics to her husband's musical. I finish belting out my song, then dramatically flop into the couch into Rileys arms. We continue laying out together on the couch, the 9 of us crowded in the small living room. A few people return to the kitchen throughout the hours we spend at the house. Everyone leaves with quite a bit of leftovers, a big smile, and a lot of great memories.

We drive home at 8:30, laughing about the day's events. I'm sitting in the middle seat, leaning in Rileys arms. We arrive at home and i pull my sweater closer. I grab a plate of leftovers, Anthony taking the rest. Riley puts his arm around me, seeing that i was shivering. We head up to the apartment, leaving the leftovers in the fridge.

I go to my room and change into joggers and a loose t-shirt. I come back out and hang out with the rest on the couch. We snack on little bits of food and do the cliche "what are you thankful for" thing. It's really adorable and fun, just saying the good thongs, and making good out of the bad.

I fall asleep on Riley once we turn the television on. We stay there all night, and I'm happy.
