So I know Thanksgiving was on Thursday, and I know I am a little late but hey sometimes life gets in the way. So my parents especially my dad likes to make a huge deal out of holiday dinners. The importance of holiday dinners has increased since I flown the coop. Maybe I am not there as much as others for their folks, but I know I am there for them than most and they are never far from my thoughts. I can't look in a mirror without seeing my mom looking back at me. Of course she can't look at Bell my 3 year old sister without seeing me looking back at her so I guess we are even. 

Anyways they decided to cook two different turkeys, so they can brine one. Frankly they both tasted the same to me, but whatever they like to try new things. I will never forget the time my dad tried to make a breakfast casserole when I was a kid, it was one of the most disgusting things I have ever had. The tomatoes were right above the bread layer so it was super super soggy!!! He has gotten better since then about his experiments. 

On with the pics! 

My brother trying to hide from me.

 MMMMmmm, Ver brought our favorite cheap wine. Red Velvet Cupcake.

 Yes, he fell asleep upside down.

 He likes to lay on my chest and he is almost 30 pounds so its not cute anymore, but look at that stupid face!

 Milo up to no good as usual.

This is the view off my parents deck, I really miss waking up and looking out over the lake. I grew up on that lake and honestly I wouldn't change it for a penthouse apartment in DuPont Circle.
