We supported some local businesses...
Alison got a knitting lesson. (Knitting is hard!)
Eric enjoyed our "chest of chips"...
...and reprised his role as the Cave Creature.
Brisquette and Crunchie got lots of attention.
The boys got in some quality sports-watching time.
We cooked our first Thanksgiving dinner. Brandon cooked up a nice brine for the turkey...
...and put butter under the skin to make some lovely "tumors."
The Bird.
Our table setup was a little makeshift, but a good time was had by all! (Our menu included turkey, green beans with carmelized onions and red peppers, regular mashed potatoes, red pepper mashed potatoes, mozzarella mac, and butternut squash soup.)
Here is an appetizing sight from the weekend:
Things overheard, Thanksgiving Weekend 2010:
"Facebook will be obsolete in two years."
"Uncle make it back yet?"
"And the disgusting charity award goes to..."
"Auuggggghhhh!" (followed by throwing down of yarn and knitting needles)
"Crunchie needs another breath mint."
We hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I want to know where that chest of chips was when I was visiting?????
Fun pics, and your menu sounded yummy!!
Alison, I could never get the hang of knitting ( my left hand ) , but I can do a little crocheting if Aunt Bobby starts it up for me.
Looks like you guys had great weather for the family visit. Nice post.
This post makes me happy :-)
HAHA that is great! I especially love the random quotes of things heard over the week :) The turkey looks delicious! And I also love your chest of chips. Fantastic.
