Saturday was Thanksgiving. Friend Thanksgiving. We decided to throw a potluck feast with our friends since we'd all be different places on the actual Holiday.

Julia took on the task of preparing the actual turkey- very impressive!



Making a turkey isn't all fun and games...



I was really nervous about having enough food, so I made four pies... Needless to say I have a lot of leftover pie to eat.



Like any good party, there were fourth grade arts and crafts involved.





The Canadians even came, since I missed Canadian Thanksgiving this year. Kevin said my pupkin pie was the best he ever had. Not to brag or anything.



Julia also made gravy...



While I made brussels sprouts with bacon and shallots...



Andy was a young pilgrim. He hadn't graduated into the big hat yet...



But he ordered a Honey Baked Ham (invented in Michigan!)



The turkey was unveiled!



It was a beautiful bird.



Chip had a big hat. Like lincoln. Or a lollapalooza kid.



There was Tofurkey for the vegetarians.



The alphabet magnets are always fun.



Pat carved the turkey.



Kevin played the role of the King of England.



The rest of the pilgrim crew.



We had a LOT of food. (yeah, those are brussels sprouts in a penis mold...we ran out of serving dishes....)



The Honey Baked Ham.



Andy gave a touching Thanksgiving toast.



We weren't necessarily so politically correct.



Native American Princesses.



Finally it was time to chow down.



A verifyable cornucopia.



My sister needed a belly rub after all that food.



My sister also made an amazing pie. It runs in the family, I guess.



So does biting.



The carnage.



Chip, Meredith and Pat all stopped by today to eat (and take home) leftovers. We also managed to watch the ENTIRE marathon of Beauty and the Geek Season One on MTV. So productive.

Nope, don't want to talk about the football game.
