Thanksgiving Wrap-Up

I'm not very creative but one thing I know is that kids love to have a special activity on special days. We made turkeys out of fruit. That's about as crazy as I get.

Headcount: 16 people. 8 adults and 8 kids.

Made for a very action packed Thanksgiving dinner. No relaxing for the adults, until it was all over.

And then there was Pinewood Derby Car racing.

And yes, anytime my dad's in the house, there will be brackets tracking the winners.

The 23-lb bird. I'm sold on brining the turkey before baking. So tender and moist.

(One of our 8 cousins wasn't very happy... but she was still very cute.)
