Postcards from Thanksgiving

Happy (Belated) Thankgiving!

How was yours?

Mine was delicious! My mom outdid herself once again. I took very few pictures, because I was so busy devouring it all, but here are some of the food highlights:

:: My dad carving up the bird ::





This thing was huge! That's half the bird. He was 28 lbs total. My mom cut him in half and saved the rest for a rainy day, mostly because he wouldn't fit in the oven!!!


A repeat from last year, I contributed two Nutmeg Maple Cream Pies.



Almost as exciting as the dinner was getting to meet my 10 day old little grand-niece, Isabelle!

:: I love how excited my dad gets about babies and little kids - look at the grin on his face! ::



:: She was so tiny! She weighs just over six pounds! ::



:: And, of course, I logged in some significant cuddle time. ::



:: My nephew Zach, the papa ::



Like any good Thanksgiving, we all succumbed to food coma induced exhaustion at the end of the day, as demonstrated superbly here by my brother, Mike.



I give thanks for a good day. And leftovers.
