Thanksgiving: Check.

The "night before" preparations:

Matt was a determined apple-grater

Doesn't every family do the Thanksgiving Eve can-can?

... :)

The parade:

Green Valley High's marching band had the opportunity to play in this year's Macy's parade...but I would have watched it anyway (tradition).

Um...why do they all have to lip sync?

Haven't we the technology/talent enough to perform live?!

Thanksgiving-morning cinnamon rolls!

Bleh.

Salad Queen

(complete with subjects and slaves)

K, so she was sick and we made her wear the mask.

How many people does it take to make mashed potatoes?

...

Resident turkey carver

Jess and her "Grandma Davis" mashed potatoes

The bird

Now, I'm not sure why, but several people (this year...?), apparently concerned with my anti-turkey status, posed the question: "What CAN you eat on Thanksgiving??!"

Answer: ...all of this? ...Why?

Lovely Thanksgiving. Smallest group we've had in...over a decade, but still nice. We rounded out the evening with Pretty Woman and the televised Taylor Swift concert...not too shabby. Hope your day was fantastic!
