Thanksgiving 2011

We had a fabulous Berkshires Thanksgiving: relaxing, fun, and scrumptious (thanks to Chef Maxine). And once again the oven door graced us with its continued presence/attachment to the oven. 

Three cousins in action.  

 

They - or at least the two littlers - spent much of the weekend romping around the yard poking sticks at things, pulling pine cones off trees, and sweetly terrorizing the mice who set up for the winter in the smoke house. Elijah was most interested in playing football and Apples to Apples.

Kissin' cousins.


No, really kissing. I wonder how old they will be when they die of embarrassment and make me unpost this.


My parents joined the fun.


As did the Slawsky fam - David, Mimi, Susie and Mike. 



Sam went through some of her old boxed-up toys and was kind enough to give this doll to Rosie, who promptly christened her Aunt Sam. A slightly creepy but perfectly respectable homage. Here we have Aunt Sam elegantly riding a white stallion. 



The real Aunt Sam.



And a final highlight: 
The First Annual Thanksgiving Rumble. Bring it on.

 

We 3 + 2 more ladies on the way. (Thanks cousin David for the fine photography!)

Looks like fun! And I love, LOVE the picture of Aunt Sam elegantly riding the white stallion. Hilarious. Oh, and I'm so excited about your pregnancy, too. I can hardly wait to see them in pictures.
