a three fried turkeys kind of thanksgiving.

whoops. i did a really bad job taking photos this thanksgiving. i snapped some shots early in the day but in the midst of the family craziness my camera never made it out again until the very end. i'm bummed, but oh well. between frying three turkeys, making a ham, homemade rolls, appetizers, a bunch of sides & homemade pies with the ladies plus visiting with dad, mom, steven, heather, chris, jess, jacob, jayden, danny, thomas, uncle mike, uncle paul, aunt pam, josh, shauna, liam (that's 17) and a trip to the beh's to catch up with val, bernard, eleanor & lenny... can you blame me? yeah, it's always a full house and bustling with activity. sadly, not much is captured on film but that's okay. the rest of the memories are in our heads. my favorite moment(s) were all of us cracking up while watching old home videos. they're the best. it's funny and kinda crazy to see how our personalities as kids are pretty darn similar to how we are today. those videos are the best.
