It was decided that we would have Thanksgiving dinner with Jason's side of the family at our house this year and this is how I felt.

But Jason willingly took over the whole turkey situation leaving me feeling much better about hosting.

This is Jason's good friend Mr. Turkey. They got to know each other REALLY well when Jason couldn't find the giblets and had to do some serious searching.

Graham took his hosting job serious and put up signs so the kids would know where to go and to not take his toys. He even made a special "time out" chair and sign. Funny thing is he was the only one who needed a time out that day.

Graham's pilgrim hat from school was our center piece. We ate on paper plates with real cloth napkins per Jason's request.

We had the kids set up in the toy room. Graham decorated the kiddie table by putting out markers and then having a paper at each seat that said to write your name and then draw a picture of yourself.

Pam and Richard, Tiff and Brian, and the kids Quincee, Caitlin, and Aaron were our guests.

Richard made the gravy (thank goodness)!

After we watched a movie and some of us (you know who didn't participate) played a game (thanks Anna). Then we made a turkey out of a bag of microwave popcorn and Graham and Quincee got to carve it and then dig in.

In retrospect giving Graham a real knife wasn't my best idea.

And this is how we felt after it was all over.
