There were several cooks in the kitchen after we arrived. GranMa had been up early and gotten just about everything ready for lunch.
Jesse didn't want his picture taken.
But then I tricked him. They were busy putting food on the table while GranPa finished the mashed potatoes.
Aunt Sue wasn't there this year to mold the potatoes into a model of Devils Tower, so Jesse made us a volcano. We did go home that night and watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind so the boys would know why Aunt Sue does that. Aunt Sue had a pretty lame excuse for missing the Thanksgiving meal this year. She was laying on some beach in the Virgin Islands.
We watched the Thanksgiving Parade and saw Kermit the Frog.
When the spread was all laid out it was time to eat!
The steam rising off the dressing made Jesse's volcano appear to be smoking.
I think Andy has this same goofy expression in every picture I've taken of him at a family meal. At least Will is holding his Mom's hand and ready for the prayer.
The food was great and I got stuffed. After we finished eating, Jesse remolded the potatoes into the white cliffs of Dover. Aunt Sue may have competition in the mashed potato sculpting. We'll have to have 2 bowls next time she's there too.
