Thanksgiving

First off, let me say, I kind of think that Thanksgiving is a weird holiday. It's on a Thursday, and always on a Thursday, Friday is a phantom holiday, where some things are open, some things aren't, etc. Plus, there seems to be no universal tradition associated with it other than eating. Which, you know, is something most people do every day anyway. Oh, turkey, stuffing, the works? Yeah, that's called "Sunday dinner" once a month or so. I don't know. I find Christmas much more satisfying. Nevertheless, I now offer a veritable cornucopia of photos from the day:

Whipped cream, with a side of pumpkin pie. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Brooke's boy Maddox. That's not Brooke with him, it's Shelby. He's sure a cutie.


Apryl hanging out with Gwen. I don't know if we told most people, but Gwen is just a shortened nickname. Her full name is Gwenedict Arnold Mason.


Gwen happy in the swing. I don't know what it is with swings and babies (it'd make me damn sick to be swung), but I'm glad they like it.


This is the part where Conor explains that you have to put all your food into a big pile and mash it all together until it's unrecognizable and then put gravy on it. Jack is confused.

Halle surveys the scene.

Trevor and Aerin are excited to eat.


The kids go outside afterwards to burn some calories.

I started using the rapid fire mode of taking pics and caught some mid-air action. I wish you could see the last two, one right after the other. It's really cool, stop-motion photography.
This was just really funny to me. Aerin trying casually to use her spoon to get some turkey.
