Thanksgiving at the Stullken's House

We were all about due for a traditional thanksgiving this year. Especially dad! Last year, a couple days before thanksgiving, he had to have part of his inards removed...intestines of all things. a cruel joke right before the holiday when you are supposed to eat yourself silly. SO, mom and dad really did it up this year. Here they are getting things ready on Thanksgiving Day morning.

Mom really knows how to get a table looking good. Here's a few pictures (from every angle possible) to prove it.

Jeff and Donna and Joanna (and abe and lita) relaxed upstairs and watched the history of chocolate making.

Abe.

Donna loves Lita Ford. Who is about to start alerting us that Roxanne and Jimmy are here.

Me and Joanna warming our backs by the fire.

Here's the feast!

Donna wonders what to dig into first....

Here we all are! (except photographer jeff)

Ah, the happy couple.

Me and Roxanne, my fairy godmother.

Roxanne and Jimmy!

getting prepped for cards. don't we look excited?

anyone for a game of 3-13?

what to do next?

Donna and Jeff were in cahoots, i think.

Dad snuggles with Abe on the living room sofa. How Abe worked out a deal with mom to be able to get on the LIVING ROOM SOFA, i have no idea. He also has a special relationship with my grandma reed and her sofa. maybe he just has a way with women.

Lita Beeta being lazy.

zzzzzz......

mom has a way with whatever she can find in her yard and in the produce section of the grocery store. this day it was artichokes, tiny orange peppers and fresh cranberries.

the end!
