HAPPY THANKSGIVING (a week later...)

I took the week off from my blog and enjoyed my Thanksgiving weekend in the only way Thanksgiving should be enjoyed: complete and total laziness. I celebrated this year's turkey day over at my mom's place with Dick, Todd, Tom and my Nana. It was a nice, laid back afternoon for the six of us but with a very busy and full kitchen! My mom prepared another fantastic spread with all the proper fixings including three pies for dessert - wow! Thanks mom for another great year and for putting up with all my craziness. :)



Everyone is in a bit of shock and awe of this amazing bird. Don't everybody move at once!



Tom and I did our best to keep Bear occupied with treats and toys but I don't blame him for readily checking the oven for that turkey!



All hands on deck!



Dick breaks out some master slicing moves.



My nana sits down to the wonderfully decorated spread.



Pants unbuttoned, shoes off, feet up...tryptophan in effect? Check.



Even Milo felt the sweet laziness of Thanksgiving Day...but then again, what's new?



Bear as alert as ever...will he ever sleep?!?!



This past weekend we decided to take the dogs and ourselves for a much needed walk at the Intervale...I'm guessing we burned off one ladle of gravy.
