sometimes thanksgiving brings mayflowers and other times it brings walkers. i can't really attest to how much people liked when it brought mayflowers, but i CAN say that we very much liked it when it brought walkers because the mom makes a dreamy stuffing and the brother made a killer yam/orange combination. i can just picture him in the kitchen thinking, "hmmm...yams are orange. and oranges are orange. and this crayon is orange." only i'm glad he left the crayon out.
one time, i knew a girl who went on a color diet. she matched up days with colors and only ate certain colors on their designated days. i feel like i've shared this story before...no?
anyway, bug didn't bring any food, but she brought herself, which is always more than enough entertainment for any holiday occasion.
the boy made his first ever turkey and, are you ready for this, maxine - he even put onions in it! (this is a big deal because the boy is "sensitive to onions")
we ate a grandiouso feast on our new plates, a very generous house/wedding gift from the soon-to-be-parents-in-law (yes, the very same ones i got a speeding ticket with...i'm surprised they didn't instead get me a "how to drive slower" guide book)
look how lovely, but don't look too close or get too attached because that might seal our fate to host thanksgiving every year, in which case i might start threatening to make tofurkey for everyone.
after dinner and a little i'm-full-of-turkey-and-stuffing-and-orange-yams-and-maybe-crayons walk around the block, the festivities continued with a celebration of gibson's fourth birthday! a present for the boy and the brother was conveniently planted amongst the others. as soon as gibson opened it, they snatched it away and started making ramps and obstacles for it.
crew didn't need any toys. he just needed a cubby.

Ah yes. A Thanksgiving to remember for sure. And actually, I used burnt umber crayons. They give a more festive hue. =)
