Gobble! Gobble!

Turkey Day was a great success thanks to family, friends, and yummy food (most of which I didn't even have to make!) The whole crew included my parents, sister, and the Bibbs. Nana sent the turkey and fixin's from NC, so we enjoyed some good home cookin', and Amanda brought the best made-from-scratch apple and pumpkin pies!

In the Kemmerer family we have a fun tradition of making pilgrim and Indian headpieces to wear at the dinner table, so this year we made ones for Will and Isaac. But the rest of us weren't completely left out, we had placecards with names like Governor Bradley, Constance, Prudence, Babbling Brook, Swift Swallow...

And here's little pilgrim William Fairhair's thanksgiving feast. He made like a turkey and gobbled it up!

The next tradition comes from the Kiser family... the annual Thanksgiving croquet tournament. Usually the men folk play while the women enjoy talking, but with a smaller crowd we all got in on the action. Aaron claimed victory, but it was close... I sent a Kamikaze shot that knocked him back a few strokes and Amanda almost claimed it for the girls. Maybe next year...
