Thanksgiving 2016

We hosted the Odens for our second Sacramento Thanksgiving, and I just couldn't get enough of this foggy but crisp fall morning. I think the Oregonian in me is still recovering from weirdly hot SoCal Thanksgivings with no leaves on the ground. Now this was more like it...
Our turkey this year, a 24 pounder...

First major holiday with our new chairs - love them!!
The kids were not too keen on Mama's idea for a photo shoot...this was like pulling teeth...
Kitchen spazz!
I know this picture doesn't look like much, but this is the gravy that turned out perfectly. It's always touch-and-go. It's always the nagging worry as I head into the holiday. I had two false starts, but the third one this year turned into perfect turkey gravy, and for that, I was exceedingly thankful.
Post-meal gifts from Granma
This boy.
Shortly after gifts, my little man just fell asleep right on me, and was out for the rest of the night.
I have a picture like this from last year, too, same spot :-).
Reading the next morning with Grampa & Granma...
