The aftermath of Turkey Day!

Well... we survived yet another Turkey Day! We kept it really mellow this year - only had one house guest! The kids actually helped this year - a new concept for them!
This is our "little" kitty, Rexie... she decided to hang out in an empty bag that made its way to the floor...

After all the work was done - everyone got to enjoy the bird and all the fixins! Probably the only picture we got all day with Uncle Steve in it! :)

Miss O decided that she was "big" enough to put the napkin rings on napkins this year - what a great little helper!

Little J and Big Al work together (yep that IS shocking!) to clean the yams!

Little J was in charge of pepper - and he took that job VERY seriously - making sure all of us got our fill of pepper!
Little J was also in charge of pies! I have to say that I make the neatest crusts - don't they look just like something you would buy ????? He was pretty nervous dealing with the oven (like his Mama!) and did fine!
Big Al was in charge of the green beans... he was actually injured (not the band-aid on head) and we had to keep an eye on him... Miss O was unhappy with him and decided to peg him in the forehead with a Hotwheel and it took out a nice chunk... a few hours after this picture, he made her mad again and she pelted him with a ball in the same spot... that was a lovely bloddy mess!
All in all - an uneventful day yesterday... lots of good fun, watching football and the kiddos hanging out with their uncle Steve...
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
