Turkey Day !



So much to be thankful for ...............................






Family








Friends






Food



This year we enjoyed Alistair's First Thanksgiving with Family and Friends at our home. Everyone helped with preparing the food and giving me a little baby break by passing around our little butterball .

As you can see he's barely smaller then the 12 lb turkey we consumed that day, and was putting up quite a fuss when this photo was taken.

Jeff prepared the Turkey in a Honey, Brown Sugar Brine overnight and then Grilled it for 4 hours then next morning....one word "delicious" !

We had THREE types of potatoes (sweet potatoe casserole w/marshmellows, Flemings Steakhouse Scallopped Potatoes and by request Traditional Mashed Potatoes).
After some Football and some Wii came dessert... Jay and Amie are some amazing cooks , they made THREE pies (Pumpkin, Shoo Fly and Apple Pie).

Soooooo we all had a Food Coma as you can imgaine. Regardless I am truly thankful for what I've been given this year and can't complain about a thing

ok alister by the turkey is the best shot ever - you need to send that to a morning news show or something - love that.

I second Margaux comment on the Alistair/Turkey pic. That is hilarious!

Thank you both for a fabulous and very special Thanksgiving. We are very thankful to have such wonderful friends!

Jefe and Tara,
Likewise kudos on an incredible juxtopostion. I would never have compared the two. You are either a brilliant photographer or twisted!. Wishing you the best for the holidays.
