Needless to say, we had a GREAT Thanksgiving. It was full house - Mom, Dad, Sean, Tio Jose, Richard, and Yaya (aka Grandma) - all under one roof. Mom and Yaya did a fabulous job decorating the table, while Chris and I cooked up a storm and Dad, Tio and Richard yelled at the TV downstairs. This year Chris wanted to forgo the standard Turkey and make a Turducken. For those of you who are scratching your heads asking yourselves "what the heck is that" - the explanation is as strange as the name. It's a partially deboned turkey, that's been stuffed with a partially deboned duck, which has been stuffed with a whole chicken that has been stuffed with stuffing. Whew, that was chore just explaining it.
We had a little competition that whoever had the pumpkin sticker on the inside of their place card would get the wishbone...well, there wasn't one, so Richard and Yaya got creative and our decorations suffered a casualty. Richard won...he won the JINGLE PIG. It was hilarious, if you pull on it's tail it squeals and it also snorts jingle bells. Quite the prize!
We just loved having everybody here, hopefully we can have even more family join in the fun next time.
