Turkey Day

Thanksgiving 2008 was a great long weekend! I got to hang with Mom's side of the fam in Charleston. Gotta love the southern hospitality!


I also love Ocha's pocket watch...


and my Oma too!


These next couple photos tell the true story of my Thanksgiving (and because I have a great Daddy-person, it's mainly his Thanksgiving Day story too). I loved that all the family came to Aunt Oeuf's house and that everyone drove different cars to get there. I spent all day going between cars and "driving" them. Yeah, Daddy is a saint!


I like the view from up here!


OK, now pay attention. I'll only say this once. This the gas gauge, this is the speedometer and this is the odometer. My car knowledge is at an all-time high!


Now, if only I could reach the peddles...


Meanwhile, back inside there was a lot of cooking going on!


Look at that spread. You go Oma!


Uncle Mikey drove from Alabama for a visit too!


Uncle Rhett was the Mashed Potato King!


Mommy and I snuggled outside for a while. I decided that Thanksgiving was just too exciting for a nap. So I threw caution to the wind and forewent the nap. Mommy and Daddy had their hands full as the day wore on.


There's Uncle Rhett letting your know that our Thanksgiving dinner is #1!


Aunt Oeuf is busy prepping the table. Just look at that concentration!


Uncle Rhett hanging out by my stars in the kitchen.


I was a little helper as usual. And a little discoverer. Here I am figuring out the complicated engineering of the hand mixer.



Here's just some of the group in Aunt Oeuf and Uncle Rhett's cozy make-shift dining room (really, their living room).


And then for the clean-up!


We got together the next night for a reprise of Turkey Day, aka LeftOvers Day!


Uncle Rhett and I did the superman!


Finally, I helped Ocha take the leaf out of the table and pack it up to send with Uncle Mikey (man, does that guy need some furniture).


Thanks to Ocha, I am now an old pro with a screw driver. "Left lousy, righty tighty." Right, Ocha?
