Gooble-gooble

This past Thanksgiving Day was a weekend of relaxation, fun, friends, and family. Brad and I spent the weekend at my parents home in Midway. Our friends Travis and Kelly Z., Bradon and Michelle R., and Clayton (my youngest brother) all came up Thanksgiving morning. We spent the day cooking, playing the Wii, and napping (some more than others). Everyone spent the night and us ladies and T-rav went shopping on Black Friday. Brad and I ended up staying at my parents house Wed to Saturday, it was a lot of fun. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us use your house while you were in California! We had a great weekend.

Here are some choice pictures from Thanksgiving Day!


You can see the boys working hard...at Duck Hunt!

Michelle and Kelly working on the final prep.

Brandon (being the tall man that he is) did his part and got some of the kitchen lights to work so that we could have more light.

Brad worked on the mashed potatoes, his speciality!

No one was exempt from helping with the feast, even Clayton! (Although Clayton didn't make any gumdrop turkeys this year, which really was a shame.)

Here's the group, minus me. Someone had to document the event.

A sample of some of the fixins'. Yes we made homemade cranberry sauce (and it was delicious) and we put butter on anything that would hold still. And yes we cooked all the insides of the turkey, and yes T-rav tried most of them. Kelly did a great job of planning the menu!

Gooble-gooble! Hope your feast was as great as ours!
