Thanksgiving 2010

{Thanks for the craft idea, Mel!)

Yes! The Elvis costume is back, but it "mutated" into 2.
Jeff's day started out with a the annual "Turkey Bowl" at 8:00 am.
He and Scott played part of the football game dressed as Elvis...with a turkey hat on Jeff's head.
Alec tagged along, too, for the first time this year!

Later in the kitchen...we had a "Battle of the Turkeys".
One was infused (see pic above) and deep fried,
while the other sat in a brine the night before and was cooked the old-fashioned way...
in the oven.

We had lots of helping hands with the dressing, pies and other goodies.
Ian loves to wear his apron from Grandma Day, but he calls it his "robe".

Adult table!

Kid table!

Our guests arrived at 2:30 and dinner was served at 3:00.

From a couple turkeys to another...
Happy Thanksgiving!

The table-scape is so impressive ! Look at you w/charger plates aw-reddy !

It is hard to look at Jeff and Scott in their dress-up outfits and not see Alec and Adam ...

And the hat ? well, the hat says it all !
