Gobble Gobble-Part 1: The Feast

Brad and I hosted Thanksgiving at our place this year and we had some great company. Tio Brandon flew down from Seattle and Uncle Wes drove over from Modesto. We ate a lot....too much, actually, but it was worth it. As usual, Sam helped me out in the kitchen. First, he stole some "croutons" from the stuffing mix:

He then added some celery and onions to the pot and was no longer allowed to steal any "croutons":

While I stuffed the bird, some serious laughter ensued. Sam decided to assume the voice of the turkey as I "stuffed" him and Brad sewed him up. Here's the one-sided voice-over from the turkey:

Sam as "The Turkey": Oh, why are you putting stuffing in my butt? That hurts.
Me: Sam, honestly, dude.
Sam as "The Turkey": I have stuffing in my butt...Oh, no, I mean my head...It's in my head! Get it out of there!
Me: Sam!!!!!!!!!!
Sam as "The Turkey": Aaahhhhhhhhhh! Stuffing in my head! (Brad begins sewing) Ouch, that hurts. You're pinching me. That's hurting me. OWWWWW! You are not a nice person for pinching me like that.

We laughed until Brad was done sewing but Sam had plenty more to say. I'm guessing he's going to start talking about farting any day now....


After his voice-over role was over, Sam contributed this wonderful centerpiece:

Soon after, Tio Brandon and Uncle Wes arrived. Sam was beyond happy. Izzy B also received lots of love from each of them:
