Thanksgiving with Benezra's then Brelsford's

Thanksgiving as always was celebrated first at Mom and Dad Benezra's house on Mercer Island. Even though there were less people and Mom made less food, there was still tons left over. Maybe next year......



Mom made a delicious meal of Turkey, Salmon, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes and marshmallows, green bean casserole, stuffing, cornbread, biscuits, etc. Selena and Samara made desserts. Amy made an appetizer because she thought people would need something to munch on... little did she know there would be so many apps there already too! Geez, what a feast! Below is Debbie in the kitchen as she slaves away... yes, she did have help, but she really does most of it all on her own! Thanks Debbie! Again, this was just part of the left overs. Yikes. Selena had quite the sugar high after dinner and decided wrestling with Jason was a great idea. Finally, Jason showed her who was boss. Taylor, Libbey, Amy and I watched the Selena Jason match and it was quite funny.Dad went all animalistic and decided to take a man bite of turkey. Amy had a temporary braided stash and goatie going. Gross - maybe she was bored for a bit...Friday we went over to the Brelsford's and had Papa Murphy's pizza, eggnog ice cream sandwiches (seriously, the Nog is the bomb!), pumpkin pie, chocolate brownies, etc. Norman and I watched movies while Lynn and Amy went to the annual wreath party at Karin's... wreath photos will come later we're sure... Oh, and Mickey is SO cute. The original cat whiner, but CUTE!Lynn gave Katie a Turkey bone and she cleaned that thing out. When she was done it was 1/3 of the size of when she got it.

It sounds really sick, but the bird loves bones. Not just bird bones, but any bone really. She loves to crack into it and get the yummy stuff inside, she makes a mess and it's all over her face but she just loves it! You say, "Katie, what do you want? Katie, do you want a bone?" She says, "Wanna bone?... MMMmmm, is it good? Mmmmm!" Too funny! We love that crazy screamin' maniac of a bird!
