Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

The signs that Thanksgiving has passed in our house include....
-lots of yummy turkey left in the fridge
-plenty of extra side dishes to eat for the next few days
-the china has been used and put back away
-and, most importantly, I can put up Christmas lights outside

Getting Tom the Turkey prepped the night before (eeewwww...)
Thanksgiving morning- turkey-shaped pancakes.

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with a stuffing cook-off between Gram and Paul... Paul tried to bribe the guests to vote for his. Both Kaitlyn and Paul picked the legs for their dinner...and ate most of them!

Several attempts to get a picture of the kids...

Mmmm..... dessert time!
