her arm, she began screaming and holding it out for everyone to see. Ty, who was already holding one of his sons, scooted down and managed to remove the burning hot food. He maneuvered his son in one arm, while sticking his daughter's arm in his mouth to sooth the burn. Real tears were pouring out of her eyes and while I felt horrible for her, someone else caught my attention.
    Savanna's father was standing a few feet away from me. His head was covered in cream cheese filled peppers and other items that had been on the tr ay. He was trying his best to remove everything without making a huge mess, but it was utterly impossible to do. Miranda started grabbing the peppers off of his burnt head and apologizing.
    I started laughing even after I got dirty looks for it. It was just so comical.
    My poor wife walked into the room seconds later with her hand over her mouth and a baby on her hip. "Oh my God! What happened?"
    I calmed down. "Don't go worryin' your pretty little head over it. We will get it all cleaned up and it will be fine."
    She approached her father. "Dad, are you okay?" Her eyes were huge as she assessed the damage for herself.
    "Yeah, I will be fine. The worst case sce nario is that I bald prematurely." He threw her a wink as she tried to help all of us get the mass of the mess cleaned up.
    The second round of snacks were colder and easier to clean up if they got tossed around. Conner and John came in with a bowl full of cheese dip and chips and you would have thought that none of us had eaten for a week.
    Ty's boys were down for a nap and Christian was being occupied by her Grandpop. Noah came walking over asking if he and Bella could pl ay alone in the playroom. When Savanna heard him asking, she went running into the office and brought out some feathers and construction paper. "Why don't the two of you make turkeys and decorate them with feathers."
    Noah and Bella took the supplies and went running up to the playroom. Savanna blew me a kiss before heading back into the kitchen.
    I'd no sooner started to relax when I heard my wife yelling at someone. To make sure I didn't get on her shit list, I went into the kitchen to see what the ruckus was about. Ty was standing over a bowl with his hands inside of it. Savanna stood on the other side of him, trying to push him out of the way. "What on earth are you doing?"
    "Ty thinks he is helping by making some kind of perverted stuffing."
    "Ther e is nothing perverted about my balls." He kept massaging the stuffing mixture in the bowl, and I say massaging because of the way he was doing it.
    "Se riously, man, you know this is her thing." I leaned over his shoulder and took a look at what he was mixing up. "It actually smells good though."
    "It's the big fat sausage I put in it. It gives it the best flavor. There's nothing like a good piece of meat." Ty looked at Savanna and started laughing at his own comment.
    "God, you are one sick puppy. I hope you know that I refuse to eat that." Savanna started getting out another bowl. "I will make another batch that will be edible."
    "I'll have you know that my balls are the best you will ever taste." He was on her last nerve and not backing down.
    "Do what you want with your balls, just stay out of my way and don't touch this new batch of stuffing. Don't you have a game to watch?"
    "This is more fun than that game, besides, I wanted some Van time." He leaned into her shoulder and batted his eyes.
    I couldn't stop laughing, even though I knew she was getting more mad at me than him. She always said when I laughed at him, it made him do the things worse. I picked at a piece of bread and started walking out of the kitchen. "Have fun you two."
    "Oh, thanks, just leave me alone with this nitwit."
    The guys were getting rowdy over the game when I sat down with them. They were fussing over a bad call and yelling at the refs. My uncle came walking in the door in full camo. I'd originally thought he was at the main house with the older crew,
