Super-Thanksgiving Doorbuster Mega-Post 2013, Part 2: ARRIVALS
Since it's taken me sooooooo long to post these Thanksgiving pics anyway, I decided to change strategies and post small groups of pics by category/subject. So forget where we left off in the last post - today's post will be covering... ARRIVALS!
Grandma & Grandpa arrived the day before and made pies:
AND practiced a trombone duet.
Thanksgiving Day. NOBODY makes an entrance like Michael Ross, who was sporting a BRAND-NEW OFFICIAL THANKSGIVING SHIRT. Oh yeah.
Neighbors past and present: Kathy and Susie!
From Casa de Ribnik: Molly, Elizabeth, and Ariel.
Hmmm...
Aw.
Debbie gets an interrogation upon arrival!
And here's Debbie with Miss Miller and Seth! And Maren.
Oh, and we were already there, but here we are in our official Thanksgiving pose (I guess).
Not sure what happened to Velta and Jason in these arrival pics. But rest assured, Velta was definitely on hand to SAVE THANKSGIVING, once again. It will all be covered in our next post: TURKEY TROUBLES. Wah, Waah, Waaaahh....

Super Thanksgiving Doorbuster Mega-Post 2013: Part 1
There are a lot of pictures from Thanksgiving, so I am going to divide our Super Thanksgiving Doorbuster Mega-Post into parts. Today's subject: House Prep. I know, BO-RING. But next year we can look back and say, "Oh yeah, that's how we seated all of those people for dinner."
It all starts with the turkey. And the bird we're going to eat later - ha.
Maren is our go-to signage department; here, she diligently makes place setting name tags for every guest.
Maren just saw me posting this, and typed the following: "It was boring and I did not have much fun until I found the orange thingies that I could pop out :)"
Maren's Trash sign:
Deacon was tasked with setting up the kids' table this year.
Star Wars action figures make great centerpieces!
All the tables are set.
Maren and Grandma and our very classy drink coolers! Only the best for our guests.
The turkey is ready! So is the bird - ha.
Or is it???
Check back soon for Super Thanksgiving Doorbuster Mega-Post: Part 2, and see the riveting saga of the Turkey that Would Not Cook.

Buffy and the Snowflakes
We interrupt Thanksgiving blogging for this important Christmas message:
My friend Buffy Baggott shared with me the incredible Star Wars snowflakes she made.
The snowflakes:
Close-Ups. Here's Darth Vader:
Chewie:
Stormtrooper:
Princess Leia:
Boba Fett:
C-3P0:
R2-D2:
Yoda:
A TIE Fighter:
And a B-Wing Fighter:
OH, and it pales in comparison to her snowflake-making talents, but Buffy is also a pretty decent opera singer.
THANK YOU BUFFY!!
