Thanksgiving Pictures!

AHCK!  I owe you all a TON of pictures!  
Here are some from our fabulous Thanksgiving.  You can read about the celebration here.
Enjoy!



The American cooking team, minus Dylan.  
The Austrian talking to his imaginary friend was mostly just there for entertainment. 
;-)  schmäh..wir haben di lieb!*


We streamed the parade from a street webcam- no announcers, but plenty of parade!*


If you'll recall, our whole turkey was a whopping 35 lbs; I managed to prepare the Halfurkey (which was still GINORMOUS)....*


Proud (or was that anxious?) cooks!
Dylan should have been in this picture- he was my strong halfurkey rotator all morning.*
At this point, we were more impressed that we managed to move the Halfurkey without breaking any utensils.


It was all about presentation.....**

With the help of a super decorator, this was our beautiful spread...*


Jason is now a master Halfurkey carver!**


And Kady is a master pie baker!
Left to right: we had apple, peanut butter, and pumpkin.**


This pumpkin roll managed to travel over from America the week before...
it's amazing how well vacuum sealed freezer bags work!*
