How happy was it?

Just a few sharing pictures from our Thanksgiving. 
We had several special guests with us, who shall remain nameless to protect their identity.  It may be safer for them since sooooo many people read this blog and would start recognizing them everywhere they go!  There would be no more anonymous trips to random Wal-Mart stores in driving slippers...no, no that would be the end of that!  There would be no way you could lose anything because they would always have someone following their every move, just because they think they're so cool.  They couldn't even stop at a Flying-J Travel Plaza to use the restroom!!  Never any more privacy.  I do not wish this for them, so I will respect their privacy.  
However, IF, perhaps, you recognize them from one of the photos that I'm posting below, so be it.  Their fame precedes them, I can't help it.

 Our favorite flutist, Lulu, came to visit and gave a few tips and helps to cousin Simone in her playing.

  We roasted Tom, the turkey, which turned out to be a very nice experience for all of us...excluding Tom, as you can see in the next photo.

 There was much joy shared by all ...old and older, younger and louder.  
You can guess which who is who.  

   Every family holiday dinner  should conclude in this fashion.  
Just in case there was one clean piece of silverware left... there isn't anymore.

 As you can see our family talent spans the ages...from the young, to the more mature (perhaps that's the wrong word to used here), to the older and wiser?  Okay, I'll  just stop trying.

 There are always dishes to do, and lots of hands to help out!

Seems like someone always escapes the work in the kitchen to succumb to a turkey induced coma. He looks peaceful, doesn't he?  Just precious.


We had a wonderful weekend, lots of fun, napping, playing, laughing and eating yummy food.  We were missing some special kiddos and hope to see them soon. 
The spoons are washed and ready!!  ...and so is my camera!!
