We really did Turkey Day this year. If you are going to do it, do it big, right?
Yesterday, we had a surprise gift of flowers delivered to our door. They were from Dave & Loren, who joined us for the meal today. I had a basket that seemed to fit the selection. Here's how that turned out.
I also tried my hand at something fun I saw on the internet. Wish I could take credit for thinking it up, but I'm not too proud to copy a good idea.
At the other end of the table... the serious turkey.
The people who joined us are all familiar faces on this blog. Our friend Josh, son Josh, Om, Loren & Dave (from the trail club), and Loretta. It was a pretty good mix of people and there was some lively conversation.
After we ate ourselves into oblivion we went for a short walk in the winter wonderland. I don't remember when we last got this much snow on Thanksgiving. I had to run the snowblower- that was an hour's job I hadn't planned for the schedule, but I got it done before people came! Om helped a lot with the miscellaneous final preparations and the cleanup!
We had two other helpers for cleanup detail too, Cedar and Corkie!
An exceptionally fine holiday!

Looks delicious! Love that colourful turkey.
Beautiful day! Also, perhaps the best use ever for raw vegetables.
What a nice group. I'm sure you all had a great day giving thanks.
LOVE the veggie turkey--you did a GREAT job on that! Lot of work, I imagine.
That is a lovely bunch--nice size group for a Thanksgiving dinner. Glad you had a good day.
Cedar was in heaven!

Yum! Great to see your smiling faces. I even had turkey in Lima. The gravy is my favorite part.
