Ohhhhhh, I'm still recovering from a weekend full of food and fun- from a grueling, intense game of Capture the Flag with my Revolution buddies, to ice-skating on soap (yeah...I'll explain later) and hiking through Napa vineyards. I was treated to TWO Thanksgiving feasts...the first, and most traditional, being held with Jessie Pauling's family here in Southern California (complete with Jessie's grandmother dressed as a pilgrim). I have heard about deep-fried turkeys for a while now, and finally had the opportunity to taste one! The conclusion I came to: there is no difference. Not that I could taste, at least. Still yummy. Following dinner, the fam LOUDLY participated in some game festivities.
On Friday, Jessie, Brandy and I drove up to Stockton to have Thanksgiving with MY family, and to visit Napa on Saturday. We were impressed that all roads and freeways were virtually empty, making it a smooth 5 hour trip. Mom veered from the traditional Thanksgiving spread (fine by me!) to include tri-tip, cajun pasta, potato casserole and many others. In addition to the immediate family, my Grandma and her hubby Cliff joined us to eat. Grandma is always entertaining with her stories!

When are you and Derek going to be old enough to move from the kids table to the grown ups table? :)
