The inlaws are home. The house is quiet. The leftovers have been eaten. Sadly the house is losing its trace of the great Thanksgiving 2005 of our family so here are some memorable moments for posterity.
1. Cster feeding 3 pieces of pumpkin pie to the Mster while I was taking a nap.
2. Mster vomiting pumpkin pie on my jacket (whilst I was wearing it).
3. The 24 gallon container they used to make stuffing.
4. The stuffing that was the first to get all eaten.
5. The 22 lb turkey that is already gone.
6. The attempt to incorporate my family's tradition of toothpicking link sausages to the turkey in the final hour.
7. The porcupine turkey that came out of the oven as the sausages were put on perpendicular. (on purpose)
8. Cster's indecent comment to only me about our turkey's need for some happy blue pills.
9. MOABC 2005 (more to come)
10. The Turkey Bowl and Cster's derriere that finally stopped oozing this morning. Road burn sucks.
11. Mster's need to follow the young Dster around the house constantly yelling Dihdih.
12. The Mster's quick acceptance of 7 new people in our home.
13. Apples to Apples hehehe
14. Mster's odd choice of which Thanksgiving feast item to enjoy.
Yeah - Stuffing (so that's wear it all went), shrimp cocktail sauce, cranberry salad, pumpkin pie (see number 2), leftover turkey
Nay - Mashed potatoes, whipping cream
15. 5 pies
16. The need to outvocabularize each other at the dinner table. (Is it syllabuses or syllabi?)

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Bring on Christmas and more family fun! (And more Turkey)
#16 happens all the time over here. Man, how can we set siblings up to connect the vocabularizing??
Ortensia
Again, I must say: Turkey+sausages=bliss
The plural of syllabus is syllapodoi!! Just kidding.
Sounds like a real Thanksgiving Day feast!
Kudos on hosting a great celebration. I loved hearing about it. The only thing missing was the dance medly. You're invited to bring it to a new audience in Denver!
