A Downeast Thanksgiving

We had a great, albeit quiet, Thanksgiving this year.  With our families scattered around the midwest and west coast, a large chaotic gathering with relatives just wasn't in the picture.  No worries then.  We decided to have our own celebration at our little rental.

As you will see, the whole family got into the festivities this year.  Thane provided the bulk of the centerpiece (yes, that would be a stuffed paper bag turkey):
 
Annabel provided the entertainment by singing AND dancing:
 
Even Jordan did his part by cleaning up the bathroom.  Yes folks, that is my dear husband scrubbing a toilet for the first (and probably last) time in his life - a picture worthy moment indeed!
Our families weren't far from our minds, however, and the kids really enjoyed getting to talk to both sets of grandparents before the big meal.  Our gratefulness for our beloved families were certainly not far from our minds on this day of giving thanks.
Oh, and the lobster we enjoyed instead of the traditional turkey didn't hurt either!
Happy Thanksgiving!

You sure took on a huge undertaking with 2 small kids. It was good to see you again though. I'm watching all of the postings from your dad on fb and I think I know where they are headed in the near future. So glad things are going good for you guys.
