Turkey! Turkey!

We had a fun-filled Turkey Day which started out at Dad's resident football game, the "Turkey Bowl."Mom and I sat on the sidelines to watch. I mostly played with the grass and tried my best to get as much in my mouth as possible.Daddy took some breaks from the game to play with me. By this time I was getting pretty hungry so I thought I'd take a bite out of Daddy's ear... I know, this is football, not boxing.We had a good time.I like to show off my toes... it's one of the new words I'm learning.The best view was from up here.I was trying to read the back of Dad's jersey... biscuits and gravy sounds good to me! Here's Daddy. The team wanted to get him drug tested because his muscles are so big!He's kinda dressed like Superman.They're planning the big play.......and there goes Daddy towards the end zone! Wait a minute, I'm not the ball!!
Seriously Daddy, I'm really not the ball!!Whew... after football I got a quick breather at home and then we were off to the airport to pick up Grandpa.We played and had a good time.He even snuck me a sweet potato.

Nana is helping me play the organ...and trying to keep the sweet potato off of the keys.Finally on Turkey Day we got to have Thanksgiving dinner. Here is Mommy the night before preparing the brine for the turkey.Here it is ready to go in the oven.

And voila! Done! Mommy's first turkey ever.Nana and I think it looks pretty good.


But then Mommy told me I couldn't have any! Again! Just like the halloween candy!

She was pretty proud of that turkey.


And then Daddy got to carve it. Yikes! Look out!


Nice carving Daddy!

Me and Grandpa at the end of the evening. I was sad to see Grandpa go. Come back soon!!
