It is each American’s God given right to measure up to the expectations of Thanksgiving. Too much food? You are right on track. No plans for the evening? Have a seat on your couch, where you are expected to digest your multiple courses in comfort.
This Thanksgiving certainly did not disappoint. We had visitors in town to help us celebrate our first turkey day in Idaho, in the form of my parents and my eight year old niece. Although my husband was lovingly prodded into intense physical activity on this, the holiday of sloth, it was still a wonderful occasion that provided much to be thankful for. Besides, one of us had to take cross country skiing lessons… lest we live through this winter without a viable outdoor hobby.
The meal that I planned was far too large for the crowd that attended, but honestly - if you don't have leftovers for weeks, what is the point? I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday spent with people, food and television that you love :)

Lookit the size of those antlers! She couldn't get over the fact that antlers are simply everywhere in Jackson. Neither can I.

Woo hoo! Downhill in one piece!

A break for sledding.
This ACE Hardware sled rocks!
STEER!
I was definitely thankful for the help in the kitchen!
More help!
Prepare to meet your doom, turkey!
"mmmm...the sacrificial bird was yummy!"
Mike packed leftovers into his Spider Man backpack, I just know it.
This was the last good chuckle Ryan had before he succumbed to the requisite holiday coma.
Too much pie: a common Thanksgiving affliction.
TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING!
YEE HAW! We love Thanksgiving!
